"’I'll admit, I was apprehensive when I heard about PIVOT. Even during the introductory session I wasn’t completely certain the program would be of any benefit. However, at some point during the first session, it clicked! PIVOT provides an invaluable boost, a jumpstart of confidence, and an action plan for anyone in hospitality navigating their career forward. Thanks!"

The PIVOT program is an excellent program for those transitioning into a new career. It has helped me develop the skills required for a job search, identify my transferable skills and most importantly given me the confidence to tackle and be strategic in my search."

"It is evident that a lot of thought was put into the PIVOT program . The wealth of experience and knowledge is invaluable, and more than what was expected, and I am truly grateful. I would, without a doubt, recommend this program to anyone in hospitality looking for a new path in their career! Thank you!"

“After migrating from St Lucia, I completed high school in Canada and only had one part-time job. This training has allowed me to have a full-time job.”

"Participating in the PIVOT program was a blessing in disguise. Beyond the knowledge, the program encouraged me to think outside the box and get different ideas. I even got support after the program: job posting recommendations, tips to prepare for interviews and encouragement when I got a job offer and started a new job!"

The management of HWTC was able to secure a placement for me at Sheraton Gateway Hotel, located at the Pearson International Airport, Terminal 3. Lo and behold, it was like I went for a four-year college course in Hospitality.”
