The Hotel Training Initiative (HTI) is one of the components of the Vocational Skills Development Program (VSDP) implemented by Swisscontact in Myanmar. The Program is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
The HTI Component’s objective is to facilitate an increase in skilled persons in the Hospitality sector. It will train about 3,000 persons from disadvantaged backgrounds in selected hospitality occupations, coordinating with leading hotels in Yangon and Nay Pyi Taw, as well as with the relevant industry associations in the sector.
The first main phase of the VSDP started in September 2014 and lasts until January 2018. The Ministry of Hotels and Tourism fully supports the HTI component and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Swisscontact in February 2015 for its implementation.
