Hospitality Sector Support

Hospitality businesses are important to Wychavon’s local economy and visitor experience, therefore there are various support measures available under the Wychavon Growth Programme and funded by the Council to facilitate the growth of this key sector.

Hospitality Skills Boost

Hospitality businesses in Wychavon can access a grant to support with upskilling their workforce to help overcome challenges.  50% of the training costs, up to £3,000 per organisation and up to £1,500 per employee can be claimed.

By accessing training at a reduced cost, it enables organisations to improve their offering and ultimately increase profitability. Businesses are able to choose the right training for their needs. Whether they are looking to improve customer service, front of house operations, kitchen operations or even management level tasks such as accountancy or event operations.
