30% of Haven’s staff are between the ages of 16-21.
Thank you to the team at Craig Tara for organising this event that will support the pupil coursework for their Travel and Tourism classes.
Hear from Nick Livingstone, Head of Food & Beverage:
“The recent student visit To Haven, Craig Tara, served as a timely reminder on the importance that businesses must put on community engagement. It was truly a delight to see how engaged and excited our guests were and that goes for the teachers as well. Whilst it gives these young individuals an opportunity to see a workplace and ask questions ahead of making that first step into employment it also allowed us to see what drew engagement, what drew questions and to better tailor our communication to prospective employees as a result. I highly recommend that other business’s join in on this wonderful programme.”
