The IHI’s focus on supporting career progression and advancement through Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and Mentoring underscores a strong commitment to the growth of hospitality professionals at all stages of their careers. By emphasizing the importance of these tools, the IHI ensures that its members have access to the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to continually develop their skills, knowledge, and leadership capabilities.
A key objective of the IHI is to support the career progression and development of our members. We recognise that mentoring is a valuable tool to support this objective and as the professional membership body for the industry, it was important for the IHI to lead the development of an industry mentor programme.
The programme is being delivered through a bespoke platform, PLD, which will make creating and managing mentoring relationships a smooth and practical experience.
Since its launch, we have received a very high level of interest and commitment from IHI members eager to participate. If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee, please click here to start the process.
Or if you have a developing team member or members you feel would benefit from the IHI Mentors Matter programme but are not currently IHI members, I am pleased to confirm we are offering a special membership rate of €90 (T&Cs apply). To learn more, please contact Tina.maree@ihi.ie
In partnership with the IHI, the Restaurant & Hospitality Skillnet provides training to those working in restaurants and the wider hospitality industry, from owners to managers, head chefs to commis chefs, and front of house service staff.
Restaurant & Hospitality Skillnet focuses on supporting those in employment within the Restaurant and Hospitality Industry. The Restaurant & Hospitality Skillnet also participate in the Skillnet Ireland Skills Connect programme. This initiative is designed exclusively for unemployed people and includes free training in skills in demand by companies combined with direct access to employers through meaningful work placements.
These courses help members up-skill their current workforce and train those new to their business.
