INSPIRE, the highly successful work experience programme launched by industry charity Springboard for the hotel sector, is now available as a combined volume pack complete with online support.

The packs offer hoteliers a standard to work toward when offering work experience and include the following:

* An easy to use, step-by-step guide for all those involved in planning, organising and delivering work experience - be it a short taster experience or a year-long degree student placement.

* All the guidance, support, legal requirements, case studies and other tools needed to provide quality work experience.

* Updated on-line on a regular basis.

* An invaluable tool to provide quality work experience to potential recruits, influencers, the industry as a whole, and most importantly - your business.

Work experience can be an excellent way to attract new people to the industry and it is important to ensure this experience is a positive one.

With Springsboard's INSPIRE work experience pack there is a step by step guide for all those involved in planning, organising and delivering work experience whether that be a short taster experience or a yearlong degree student placement.

The packs offer guidance, support, information on your legal requirement as well as case studies and other important tools needed to provide quality work experience.

Springboard's 'Inspiring Work Experience' Kitemark is being marketed to schools, colleges, universities, careers advisors and adult job seekers as the quality mark to look for when sourcing work experience, so it stands to reason that you will be reaching out to the people who are aware of the value of a placement in an establishment that uses this programme.

Any initiative that assists in promoting our industry in a positive light is a step forward, and Springboard's INSPIRE is keen to set a new and higher standard than ever before.
