The hospitality training labs will assist in training aspiring youth keen to join the hospitality industry.

Taj Resorts, North Goa in collaboration with Don Bosco, Parra have created Food & Beverage and Housekeeping Labs to help train aspiring youth who are keen to join the hospitality industry. 

Taj, North Goa contributed in conceptualising the layout and providing required equipment and ensured that the Labs are well equipped to deliver the best to the students undergoing training at the institute.

Speaking on the initiative, Vincent Ramos, Area Director – IHCL, Goa and General Manager, Taj Resort & Convention Centre, Goa said, “IHCL has always believed in giving back to society. With this collaboration, we hope to encourage and continue supporting the hidden talents of the youth who have been denied quality education due to difficult circumstances. Taj Resorts, North Goa is known for its iconic and legendary hospitality. Under the leadership of Anmol Ahluwalia, the team has done a stupendous job in creating the Hospitality Training Labs.”

Some of the essential elements used to build the Food & Beverage Training Lab include the different types of crockery, cutlery, glassware, tableware and bar essentials. The Housekeeping Lab is a representation of a guest room with furnishings, upholstery and linen. In addition, the departmental trainers of Taj Holiday Village Resort & Spa and Taj Fort Aguada Resort & Spa will also visit the center to train students on various expert skills. Furthermore, the Resorts will continue to support by providing industrial exposure to the students which is mandatory part of their curriculum.

Speaking on the collaboration, Anmol Ahluwalia, Cluster General Manager – Taj, North Goa said, “It is our responsibility to ensure that the students are equipped with best of knowledge to help shape the hospitality industry in the years ahead. We are thankful to Don Bosco for their contribution and for allowing us to be part of their initiative to assist the needy youth and create livelihoods for them.”
