The Abuja campus of National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) recently announced the commencement of a flagship summer vacation training on hospitality skills and tourism crafts for children in Abuja and the larger Federal Capital Territory areas.
The training is scheduled to hold for two weeks starting from Monday 12th of August 2024.
NIHOTOUR is the leading hospitality and tourism vocational training institute in Nigeria.
It will be recalled that this is the second edition of the summer training on hospitality skills and tourism crafts for kids in the FCT organized by the NIHOTOUR Abuja Campus.
The first edition of the kids’ summer classes was held in July and August of 2023.
Speaking recently in her office, Hajiya Habiba Sani, the NIHOTOUR Abuja Campus Coordinator, revealed that “the summer class this year would be built on the huge success of last year’s edition. Hence, this year we are expanding the training modules to include Cookery, Pastry and Confectionery, Vegetable & Fruit Carving, Table Setting, Food Presentation, House Keeping, City Tour operation, Parks and Recreation.”
Hajiya Habiba further explained that “our training objectives are to awaken children to the opportunities inherent in the global hospitality and tourism sectors for their personal and career development. The training delivery methods are hands-on and one-on-one, so that our child-friendly and experienced trainers can identify budding talents in kids and expertly guide them, through personalized coaching, to nurture their skills after the training days with us at NIHOTOUR.”
It is noteworthy that the global tourism industry is not only one of the highest employers of labour, but also one of the guaranteed ways to self-employment and enterprise development for skilled hospitality and tourism operators.
Hence, this year’s summer vacation training for kids in the FCT is an opportunity for parents to expand the career horizon their children and allow them to explore their innate skills for future development.
The summer vacation training will hold at the Abuja campus of NIHOTOUR situated at 6, Mike Akhigbe Way, Jabi District, Abuja.
Participation in the training requires prior registration by parents at the Abuja Campus of the Institute.
The National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) is a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Tourism.
The Institute is established by an Act of Parliament to Train, Certify and Register all personnel working in Nigeria’s hospitality, travel and tourism sectors.
As the leading hospitality and tourism vocational training citadel in Nigeria, NIHOTOUR so far has twelve campuses and training centres spread across the country’s six-geopolitical zones and the FCT.
