Hospitality and Tourism Skills
Welcome to Fife are committed to collaborating with partners throughout the region to boost opportunities for individuals and businesses within the dynamic hospitality and tourism sector of Fife. Support is available for a range of enterprises, from hotels and restaurants to tour operators and other related services, aiding their success in a competitive marketplace.
Additionally, Welcome to Fife is devoted to partnering with employability organisations across the region to address the skills shortage in hospitality and tourism. Collaborators such as Fife Council, Skills Development Scotland, Developing the Young Workforce (DYW), Fife College, Springboard, and local industry leaders are uniting to inspire young people to consider tourism as a career, ensure that potential employees possess the necessary skills and knowledge for the industry, and provide opportunities for the current workforce to advance their skills.
Fife Support for Business
Hospitality skills support through the Tay Cities Deal
Hospitality and tourism businesses in north‑east Fife may also be able to access funded skills and workforce support through the Tay Cities Region Deal. One of the key programmes available is HospitaliTAY, which has been designed specifically to support hospitality businesses across the region.
HospitaliTAY is a fully funded skills initiative supporting businesses in north‑east Fife, Angus, Dundee and Perth & Kinross. The programme helps hospitality and tourism employers to build skills, strengthen their workforce and improve recruitment and retention, with support shaped around the needs of each business.
Support available through HospitaliTAY can include practical training, workforce planning advice, upskilling and reskilling opportunities, and development support for both frontline staff and supervisors or emerging managers. The programme is open to a wide range of hospitality and tourism businesses and is not limited to accommodation providers.
Businesses interested in developing their staff or exploring new recruitment pathways are encouraged to find out more and check eligibility. HospitaliTAY complements the wider Welcome to Fife skills and employment support available to hospitality and tourism businesses across Fife.
