Summary
The Guam Hotel & Restaurant Association (GHRA) is set to launch a pre-apprenticeship program starting August 26. This 12-week initiative, made possible through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, aims to equip participants with essential skills for the tourism industry, focusing on areas such as facilities maintenance and customer service at three local venues.
This pre-apprenticeship program is a crucial step toward developing a trained workforce in Guam, addressing the need for skilled labor in the hospitality sector. By collaborating with various employer partners, the program not only enhances job readiness but also supports career advancement and job retention, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable local economy.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative highlights the importance of pre-apprenticeship programs in building a skilled labor pool, which is essential for the success of registered apprenticeship tracks. By providing targeted training and fostering connections between employers and apprentices, programs like this help create effective pathways to employment and career growth in high-demand industries.
