Hospitality and tourism are at the heart of London’s economy, helping to make the capital one of the world’s most visited and vibrant cities. From hotels and restaurants to events, visitor attractions and cultural venues, the sector offers a wide range of career opportunities for people with different interests, skills and ambitions.

For those who enjoy working with people, solving problems and creating great customer experiences, hospitality and tourism can provide a rewarding and varied career. The industry also offers opportunities to progress, develop specialist skills and move into supervisory or management roles over time.

To help local residents explore opportunities in this growing sector, Wandsworth Lifelong Learning is offering a practical and supportive Hospitality and Tourism programme for unemployed adult Londoners. Learners can gain a Level 1 qualification while building the communication, teamwork and customer service skills that employers are looking for.

The programme also provides support with CV writing, job searching, applications and interview preparation, helping learners take positive steps towards employment. Participants will also have opportunities to connect with local employers and explore current vacancies across the sector.

Funded through the Greater London Authority’s (GLA) London Talent Pathways programme, the course is part of a wider initiative that helps Londoners build employability skills, access sector-focused training and move into sustainable employment.

Whether you’re interested in working in hotels, restaurants, events, visitor attractions or other customer-facing roles, this programme can help you gain the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to take the next step.
