Destination Lincolnshire seeks to partner with like-minded organisations that are proactively and positively looking to support the visitor economy in Greater Lincolnshire. Hospitality, Now! is focused on understanding and bridging the gap between local employers and students who are looking for employment while studying in Lincoln and Lincolnshire, and we’re truly excited to see what this partnership brings.
Generating billions of pounds for Lincolnshire and supporting thousands of businesses county-wide, the importance of the visitor economy cannot and should not be underestimated. Therefore, it’s easy to understand why ensuring the next generation is actively ready to move into the industry to pursue rewarding careers is a top priority for us.
Hospitality is one of the most rewarding and life-shaping careers available for young people as they progress through their higher education years. Students can balance academic learning with the opportunity to adopt real-life skills from talented local business owners. The breadth of the sector also means that once graduated, hospitality and tourism have a job for every student, opening the door to faster career progression opportunities than almost any other industry.
For Lincolnshire businesses wishing to get involved in the Hospitality, Now! Good Student Employer Charter, there are countless benefits. Businesses will be able to access a student workforce through the University of Lincoln and other places that offer higher education, developing a two-way working relationship with a younger workforce to not only satisfy both employer and employee but bring new talent into local businesses and the wider visitor economy.
