The primary mandate of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association Education Foundation from its formation in 1986 has been to support education and training programs for the region’s hospitality and tourism industry.
For the last three decades, the Education Foundation has raised and distributed over US$2.5million for individual scholarships and training for the region’s nationals.
In partnership with its corporate sponsors and with the generous support of the member hotels and allied partners of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association, the Education Foundation is embarking on a new chapter of on-island training courses to further the development of industry skills and training development in a series of one-day training courses in multiple disciplines.

Caribbean Employee Empowerment Training
The Caribbean Employee Empowerment Training began in 2018 and has to date trained over 2,500 Caribbean hospitality professionals in a dozen locations around the region. This program is the Education Foundation’s commitment to the staff who are the backbone of the industry.
The program offers a diverse range of workshops tailored to the unique needs of our tourism and hospitality industry. There are workshops to elevate skills of seasoned professionals and new entrants to the industry. Our workshops deliver dynamic, practical, and inclusive content that participants can immediately apply to shine in their roles.
