The Employment Language Training (ELT) Hospitality program provides new immigrants to Canada (CLB 4+ with permanent resident status) with the opportunity to combine learning English and learning essential skills to help integrate them into the Prince Edward Island Tourism workplace.

The program provides participants with increased English language proficiency in all four CLB areas – reading, writing, listening, speaking; helps them hone their customer service and communication skills; and prepares them to work in the tourism industry. Students also learn about the Employment Standards Act and the Human Rights Act, and participate in résumé and cover letter writing workshops.

Students get hands-on server training in our own restaurant as well as customer service practice in our New-to-You Shop, as well as a two-week job shadow placement, and learn the basics of event planning by working on our Winter Carnival, Halloween Haunted House, and our Pancake Day events. A bus tour of P.E.I. familiarized them with the province's attractions.

When they successfully complete the program, students receive the following:

• EMERIT National Tourism Skills (certificate)
• Canadian Workplace Essentials (curriculum)
• PEI Best Service Training Program (certificate)
• Food Safety (certificate)
• WHIMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) (certificate)
• Standard First Aid and CPR/AED Training (2 certificates)
