Hospitality and Viticulture Employee Training and Seasonal Accommodation Program with Naramata Centre Society

The Naramata Centre is planning to offer a Hospitality & Viticulture Program to local employers for their seasonal employees. The Hospitality & Viticulture Program will provide personal and professional development opportunities to young employees in a community setting and provide much needed staff accommodation to business partners in the community.

Naramata Centre is considering to offer 7 to 14 rooms between mid-April through October of 2023 for program participants. Each room has two beds and an ensuite with a shared kitchen and lounge.

Naramata Centre is working with TOTA, WorkBC, and the Okanagan Collage to develop a variety of training opportunities in addition to the Centre’s own personal development and community offerings.

Participants will get access to a flexible and tailored leadership development curriculum, which covers topics such as:

• Work-life balance

• Personal and professional development

• Emotional intelligence

• Boundary recognition

• Diversity and inclusivity

• Community engagement

• Connection to the land

• Spiritual life practices

The Centre is very open to working with local businesses, tourism associations and the viticulture sector to enhance these offerings.

If well-received this offer would continue in subsequent years.
