The Texas Hotel and Lodging Association has started a new initiative to encourage youth towards careers in the hospitality industry. The association hosted a Hotel Summer Camp on June 7-9 in Houston. Thanks to the generosity of THLA, Somerville High School was able to attend this camp on a financial assistance grant. The grant paid for the meals and lodging of the camp. During the 3 day/ 2 night experience, students had the opportunity to network with Directors in various departments from the Hilton at The University of Houston, Professors at The University of Houston, Directors from The San Luis Resort in Galveston, a representative from Texas A&M Hospitality Department, and other colleges during a career and college fair. Students attended workshops pertaining to communication skills, dinner and business etiquette skills, customer service, job searching strategies, and traits of an ideal staff member. Students earned a certificate of completion from the Texas Friendly Hospitality Ambassadors workshop in conjunction with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. Students toured The University of Houston as well as The San Luis Resort in Galveston. During the tour of San Luis Resort, students toured all aspects of the resort including the kitchen, laundry services, security, payroll, and the human resources department. Students also had the opportunity to enjoy the amenities at The University of Houston including swimming in an olympic size pool and bowling on campus. All of the students said this experience was more than they expected and are looking forward to the possibility of attending the camp next year. Several of the students who didn't think college would be an option for them, have said they are excited about their future and the possibility of going to college/trade schools to continue their education.
