REMINGTON COO SLOAN DEAN TALKS AHLEF'S APPRENTICESHIPS

The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) as well as its charitable giving arm, the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation (AHLEF), has long been invested developing the next generation of hotel managers. Together, these organizations launched the a hotel management apprenticeship program designed using more than 100 hotel competencies to offer management certifications aligned with apprenticeship fundamentals. This industry-created program offers participants a direct path to upper management and credential attainment.

Since the launch of the apprenticeships, the program has yielded a 94 percent retention rate for employers. This impressive statistic means that more participating employers are enrolling new apprentices faster than ever.
