This course is for Persons with Disabilities who already work in hospitality. It helps you refresh and improve your Housekeeping and Food and Beverage skills so that you can do your job better and increase your chances of career growth.

Already working in hospitality?

This course is designed specifically for PWDs who are already in a hospitality role and want to strengthen their skills. It is not a job placement programme. Instead, it focuses on deepening the knowledge and confidence you need to grow in your current workplace.

If you are new to hospitality and looking for your first job, our Train and Place programmes may be a better fit.

What you will learn

  • Housekeeping skills refresh. You will revisit and strengthen key tasks such as room preparation, linen handling, cleaning procedures, and maintaining hygiene standards to industry level.
  • Food and beverage skills refresh. You will practise front-of-house service techniques including table setting, order-taking, beverage preparation, and guest interaction to raise the quality of your work.
  • Workplace confidence and employability. By upgrading your skills across both areas, you will be better equipped to take on more responsibilities, perform at a higher level, and advance in your hospitality career.

Who can join this course

  • Persons with Disabilities who are currently working in a hospitality role.
  • Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 16 and above.
  • Persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or developmental disabilities.
  • Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) funding is available for eligible trainees.
