Saskatchewan’s hospitality sector has been battered by COVID-19 during the pandemic.
On Wednesday, the provincial government announced $1 million to support Hospitality Saskatchewan as it looks to attract workers to the sector.
“The hospitality and tourism sector is driven by small and medium-sized businesses that are at the heart of Saskatchewan’s economy,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said in a media release.
“This $1-million investment, along with other programs like the recently launched Hard-To-Fill Skills Pilot and the Re-Skill Saskatchewan Training Subsidy, will assist in attracting, training and retaining employees needed to accelerate recovery of the hospitality sector.”
The money will be used by Hospitality Saskatchewan to launch its recruitment strategy to attract domestic and international workers to the sector.
“This type of support will allow us to showcase the vibrancy of our industry and attract workers from across Canada in an innovative and creative way,” Hospitality Saskatchewan president and CEO Jim Bence said in the release.
“There has never been a better time for training, upskilling, and advancement than there is right now in hospitality, and we applaud the Saskatchewan government for their continued support.”
According to the government, there are thousands of job postings in the hospitality sector available on saskjobs.ca. More information can be obtained by sending an email to Info@hospitalitysk.ca.
