The Tourism Training Center (CCT) of the Formatur system in Holguín reaffirms its leading role in the training and specialization of the sector's human resources, from its own classrooms or in alliance with the University of Holguín (UHo) and the Ministry of Education (Mined).
In this regard, a higher number of actions were carried out in 2022 in the training of workers and students of polytechnics; as well as those aimed at raising the professional skills of young people in key disciplines.
Currently, 48 young people are studying tourist animation at the CCT, two groups from Gaviota and one from the Ministry of Tourism, and in a work agreement with the University of Holguín (UHo) and the Cultura Física branch, a diploma course is underway to train higher-level animators, with a view to increase their skills and comprehensive development in this discipline.
In the same way, to enhance the quality of the services, specialized regional Cuban cuisine workshops will be implemented in close ties with key actors in the territory, such as the Affiliate of the Culinary Association and its Casa del Chef.
Hilda Serrano Abreu, director of the CCT, said that the competences will start from the level of each entity and the best experiences will be taken to a territorial event, with the purpose of increasing what has been achieved in the different units of the sector.
On the other hand, she mentioned as different lines of work of the CCT to project the development of the Ama-Learning Through Action- groups, directed mainly to the commercialization activity, for which they reconciled with the Department of the Degree in Tourism of the UHo, four in order to increase the quality of the service.
She explained that the priority with young people is not only concentrated in the 1,896 belonging to the sector at the moment, but also in those who are going to join, hence they maintain a prioritized attention on the polytechnics, where they prepare human resources in specialties that contribute to Tourism.
She added that work with young people has three well-conceived directions: specialization in Tourism, future workers in the sector and graduates of Higher Education, of which 20 are currently in doctoral training and 30 in master's degrees in tourism management.
" In keeping with the demands to which the Tourism sector is called in order to attract more customers, based on a more competitive product, it is expected to schedule a greater number of training actions for its workers and students, in what an important role will be played by the link between the Human Resources and Labor departments, to strengthen the vitality of the demands and needs of each territory", Serrano Abreu concluded.
