HOSPA, the Hospitality Professionals Association, is proud to announce a new initiative to support individuals in the UK hospitality industry on their journey to success. With the aim of fostering career growth and enabling professionals to thrive, it is delighted to launch a brand-new professional development grant.
The Professional Development Grants are designed to significantly reduce the financial burden of courses, with successful applicants eligible to receive support for up to 70% of their fees. This initiative is part of HOSPA’s commitment to nurturing a skilled and adaptable workforce that will drive the industry’s growth and success in the post-COVID world.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer this incredible opportunity to aspiring professionals in the hospitality sector,” said Michael Heyward, Head of Professional Development at HOSPA. “Through the Professional Development Grants, we aim to empower talented individuals by providing financial support to pursue their aspirations and advance their careers. This funding will create a pathway for them to access our renowned learning programmes and gain industry-recognised qualifications.”
HOSPA welcomes self-funding UK residents who are dedicated to their personal and professional development. Renowned for delivering exceptional learning experiences, HOSPA’s Professional Development courses cover Finance Management, Revenue Management, and Asset Management within the hospitality industry.
The courses empower learners to explore new disciplines, develop practical insights, and master critical skills. Upon completion, graduates receive industry-recognised qualifications that set them apart from the competition.
This new initiative would not have been possible without the support of the esteemed Savoy Educational Trust. Michael added: “We are immensely grateful to the Savoy Educational Trust for their generous support and shared vision of nurturing talent within the hospitality industry. Through this collaboration, we aspire to accelerate careers and build a stronger, more resilient workforce.”
Angela Maher, Chief Executive of the Savoy Educational Trust, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: “Our Trustees recognise that continuing professional development is a key component in investing individuals with the knowledge and skills that enable them to successfully progress their hospitality career. The Savoy Educational Trust is delighted to support HOSPA in its mission to make their industry-leading courses more accessible and affordable for those with a passion for revenue and financial management.”
HOSPA remains at the forefront of the hospitality industry as the UK’s authoritative voice on financial management, technical accounting issues, and a leading platform for discussions on investments, hospitality technology developments, revenue management, and marketing.
