The University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) and the Cayman Islands Tourism Association (CITA) have joined forces to provide four seminars, focusing on aspects of the tourism and hotel industry.

The aim is to provide professional development opportunities for employees in different sectors of the industry. It is also designed for jobseekers to enhance their skills and improve their resumes.

The seminars will take place at UCCI on 6^th and 7^th August and 14^th and 15^th August.

There will be two sessions each day and guests have the opportunity to attend one or both of the seminars.

Sessions will range in topics, from marketing, including social media and branding, to management and planning.

A CITA spokesperson said, “This is not only a great line item on the participant’s resume, but it also highlights the participant’s need to sharpen their skills and satisfy their need for professional growth.”

The August 7 session will be devoted to panel conferences. The morning panel will be conducted by Immigration and the National Workforce Development Agency. The afternoon session will focus on “hot tourism topics” discussed by members of the new government.

To conclude the series on August 15, two international speakers sponsored by Site Florida & Caribbean will be sharing their know-how during a full-day conference.

All persons who attend the entire series of seminars will be presented with a completion certificate.
