Tourism Soft Skills Course Overview

This tourism soft skills training program equips individuals with disabilities with essential soft skills for front-line tourism roles like tour guides, customer service representatives, and event staff. The events and hospitality industry faces a shortage of skilled short- term staff and currently relies on untrained workers. Our collaborative program identifies and teaches the specific skills needed for these roles, creating a pool of qualified employees for event and conference organizers.

Course Objectives

Effective Communication Skills and Presentation Skills: Learn clear communication strategies for face-to-face, phone, and email interactions, and develop active listening skills to understand customer needs. Build confidence in self-advocacy for personal disability needs in the workplace, and communicate clearly about accessibility requirements for employees and tourists with disabilities.

Interpersonal Skills: Develop techniques for building rapport and creating a welcoming environment for tourists, and practice positive interactions with diverse clientele. Learn effective
team collaboration strategies, and practice clear communication and information sharing with colleagues.

Problem-Solving Skills in Tourism: Develop critical thinking skills to address customer concerns, problems and challenges, and practice finding inclusive and accessible solutions to achieve a win-win scenario.

Scenario-Based Training: Integrate role-playing for real-world tourism scenarios, adapting them to address challenges faced by employees with disabilities, and practice communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution in these simulations.

Who Should Attend?

This tourism soft skills program is designed for individuals with disabilities who thrive in face-to-face communication and social interaction.
While past job experience is valuable, a strong interest in public interaction is key.
