VXT
Employment and training provider VXT are helping address workforce shortages in hospitality and tourism by offering two courses for the price of one before the end of November. Launching at this year’s Agfest, Tasmanians from across the state will have the opportunity to enrol in a VXT course and receive a second course free. “This offer will give participants a chance to explore another area of interest in the industry,” VXT CEO Emilie Donovan said. To cross-train in another area not only upskills the person doing the training, but it provides the industry with someone that has entry level skills in two areas.” With more than 50 non-accredited short courses scheduled across Tasmania between now and the end of the year, VXT is encouraging anyone who has considered upskilling to take the leap. All VXT courses are between one and two days in duration and are aimed at entry level positions in the tourism and hospitality industry.
“Our courses are designed for people with no prior experience that would like to gain the base level skills and knowledge to enter into the industry or similarly they act as a great refresher for someone who has been out of the industry for a while,” Donovan said. Courses include barista training, introduction to housekeeping, introduction to food and beverage service and classic cookery. With a massive shortfall in the workforce, VXT introduction courses are providing a critical new pathway into the industry that hasn’t previously existed. VXT has two stalls in the THA pavilion for the duration of Agfest. If you would like to find out more about the range of courses on offer or would like to sign up for the limited two for one training offer, come and visit Emilie and the team at VXT from August 24- 27.
