The Hospitality R Us Team

Hospitality R Us is a business managed by the hospitality trainees from the Western Cape College, Weipa Campus. The business was formed 6 months ago to allow students to gain valuable experience in the industry and complete practical competencies incorporated within their traineeships.

 

Hospitality R Us is attached to the College and therefore is non-profit. The trainees work at community functions as well as hosting their own functions. The skills that are gained from the business provide motivation to continue with their studies and career development.

 

The students are contracted to the traineeship for 12 months and during these months they are required to complete 48 days of paid employment. As well as the practical components of the traineeship the trainees are also required to attend the theory lessons that are held after school hours and off campus. They receive a logbook, which contains all of the units they have selected to complete during the traineeship.

 

 

The following is a list of functions that the students have worked, catered or hosted for in the past year.
