First batch of upskilling program held in Daslana, Ahmedabad
April 2022, Gujarat: Ahuja Residences and its sub-brand Yuhi Hospitality Services have joined hands with the Tourism & Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) to support the ‘Skill India’ development initiative. The certification of the first batch of its upskilling program was held on Thursday, April 14th, 2022, in Daslana, Ahmedabad. Ahuja Residences and Yuhi Hospitality Services signed an MoU with THSC to recruit and upskill 50+ underprivileged people from the country’s Northeast and train them at different Ahuja Residences and Yuhi Hospitality properties in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Pune and Gurugram. Among the skillsets the program is focusing on are front office, food & beverage (service) and housekeeping.
The training program has been established with an eye on specific job roles, better alignment to company culture and, more importantly, an outcome-based training model. The candidates have been hired as apprentices from day one under the National Apprentice Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and are given a healthy stipend along with other facilities, including uniform, meals, accommodation and medical services, etc.
The program will benefit people from underprivileged backgrounds and offer them a chance to build towards a better future. It will enable them to advance their skills and provide them employment, while also making it easier for them to land jobs in the future and open doors to further opportunities.
Jaideep Ahuja, MD and CEO of Ahuja Residences, said, “In the changing times and with the bouncing back of the hospitality industry, there is a pressing need of skilled and qualified young labour which is difficult to procure by conventional market practices. To fill this vacuum, THSC together with NAPS have created a potential and viable solution, which will help in the quick revival of the hospitality industry.”
