The lab will provide training and internationally-recognized certification for private sector employees.

The Saint Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association (SLHTA) has collaborated with the Embassy of Mexico, the Embassy of Spain and the University of Quintana Roo, to discuss the establishment of a private sector foreign languages lab.

Recently, SLHTA representatives met with representatives of the organizations as they work to move closer to the realization of the facility.

The facility will be located within the SLHTA's Hospitality Training Centre at Rodney Heights and will provide training for private sector employees.

Discussions also explored scholarship opportunities for employees in maintenance and air conditioning repair.

The private sector foreign languages lab will be available to all SLHTA members and their employees to access training and receive internationally recognized certification.
