The Restaurant Association HiT30 training programme is back!
Designed to encourage business owners to upskill themselves and their teams throughout the month of August, the programme features a range of 30-minute HiT sessions delivered over 30 days.
The HiT30 training chart gives business owners ideas on training challenges to complete to keep teams focused on learning.
Using the Restaurant Association professional development resources for inspiration, the programme aims to keep staff learning new skills and ideas.
Webinars, learning resources, and guides are all available to members to help grow skills and knowledge. The professional development plan helps members track progress.
“The aim of the programme is to give owners and their teams time to think about career goals and what training is needed to get there,” says Restaurant Association CEO Marisa Bidois.
“While HiT30 is focused on 30 days of high-intensity training, the aim is to spark a focus on year-round training to help business owners create their own skilled workforce and demonstrate to young people the endless possibilities and potential career growth in our industry.
“We continue to experience critical skills shortages in our industry and need to ensure we have a future workforce that is consistent and work-ready.
“A key focus for the Restaurant Association is to encourage better partnerships between industry, government, and training organisations to support the development of fit-for-purpose, adequately funded education and training options which produce ready-to-work, productive, career-focused workers.
“To fulfil our long-term staff requirements, we will need increased training for New Zealanders to meet the skills shortage needs both in terms of availability and quality. But we also need to focus on what we can do as a collective industry to identify and train tomorrow’s hospo superstars.
“With the industry currently experiencing quieter times, it’s an opportune moment to focus on training so that staff are match fit for the busy summer season. HiT30 has been a huge success with business owners to date, and we hope that the programme grows continues to grow, empowering and supporting teams to level up service and supercharge their careers.”
