The training course was held on campus with the participation of more than 200 students and lecturers. The main contents delivered included: basic knowledge of the bartending industry, skills in mixing and serving drinks, effective communication skills, teamwork, physical and mental health training, time management and building confidence, and skills in managing personal image on social networks.
Students also learned more about nightlife careers, understood the value and potential career paths of this industry. In addition, experts from Diageo Vietnam Company also introduced and guided the responsible drinking program (DRINKiQ).
Diageo initiated and implemented a global “Lifelong Learning” training program to provide skills and expertise in the hospitality industry to workers who want to find work in this industry, while also supporting disadvantaged people to access job opportunities.
The program also aims to train at least 50% of female students each season. “Lifelong learning” promises to improve the lives of workers and support the development of the local hotel and restaurant industry.
In Vietnam, the “Lifelong Learning” program was first implemented in the Central region, where the restaurant and hotel industry is growing strongly. At the same time, the demand for local jobs has increased, especially since the pandemic, and workers are in great need of additional soft skills training to help them develop themselves, thereby helping them confidently access more career opportunities.
In early 2023, the program organized the first training course in Thang Binh district, Quang Nam province and reached 85 workers in the area.
Ms. Ha Thi Vy, Vice Principal of Da Nang College of Tourism shared: " We always want to contribute to promoting the quality of education at vocational training schools by creating opportunities for students to be exposed to and improve their technology and professional knowledge, creating conditions to help them have many job opportunities after graduation.
We appreciate business cooperation activities like this one between the multinational corporation Diageo and our school in helping students improve their skills and professional expertise ."
Diageo Vietnam will cooperate with government departments, educational and training organizations in localities to further deploy the "Lifelong Learning" program to many other provinces and regions to support the development of individuals participating in the program in particular, the hotel and restaurant industry in general, as well as actively contribute to economic development in localities.
Ms. Huynh Thi Thanh Truc, Director of External Relations of Diageo Vietnam, said: "Initiating the 'Lifelong Learning' program, Diageo Vietnam hopes to create more career options, contribute to improving the quality of labor, improving the lives of local people and promoting sustainable economic development."
“Lifelong Learning” is a project within Diageo’s Spirit of Progress 2030. Through the Program, Diageo Vietnam continues to affirm its vision as a humane enterprise, contributing to a better future for the whole society.
