Interim Chairman's Message
Thirty years ago, the RI Hospitality Education Foundation was formed to encourage individuals to pursue careers in foodservice, lodging, and tourism.
Over the past three decades, our programming has grown into a robust collection of workforce development opportunities, helping thousands of young people gain skills and discover new career paths.
Through hands-on training and mentorship, we show students that hospitality offers a path to a rewarding career while developing skills that will serve them well in any industry.
As we grow, our commitment remains strong: to develop the next generation of hospitality professionals and strengthen our workforce through training, professional standards, and certification.
