Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), in association with Bengaluru-based Head Held High (HHH) Foundation, has launched an ambitious project to train up to one lakh youth from rural areas in the hospitality sector by the year 2030.
IHCL has established skill centres at select locations across the country to train youth for employment across industries, such as hospitality and retail sectors. The centre established at Taj Tirupati is unique in the sense that it runs entirely within the hotel premises.
The beneficiaries in this programme are mostly Intermediate pass-outs or college dropouts, who had to discontinue their undergraduate education owing to family circumstances and have remained confined to their villages around Tirupati.
