HOTEL STAFF Training Sought To Improve Standards
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, August 31. The Minister of Education (Mr Kinsella) said in Parliament today that he was willing to consider requests for establishing classes for hotel-workers.
Mrs E. E. McMillan (Opp., Dunedin North) had asked him if in view of the in-
creasing difficulty hotels were having recruiting satisfactory staff, he would consider setting up training schools for hotel-workers in an attempt to raise the status of the industry. Mr Kinsella said the varying skills required in different parts of the hotel industry could only be trained to a limited extent by establishment of special classes and courses. Training workers must remain substantially the responsibility of the industry itself. “Where it can be shown that there is a demand for the provision of classes for any section of hotel-workers, and that the workers concerned can gain from those classes advantages not available in other ways, consideration will be given to requests to establish them,” he |said.
