New Delhi, April 14: Underprivileged women will now get a chance to work in the hospitality industry, thanks to the partnership between hotel Le Meridian and Joining Hands, an NGO.
Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi launched this initiative in New Delhi on Wednesday.
Le Meridien New Delhi and Joining Hands, an NGO, launched a unique initiative to train and equip urban, underprivileged women with necessary skills to find employment in the steadily growing hospitality sector on Wednesday.
Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi welcomed the unique skill development initiative in which women between the age group of 18-35 will be trained in all aspects of hotel operations and training.
Speaking at the event Maneka Gandhi said ‘When our ministry launched a program called STEP, we asked for ideas from non-governmental organisations to train 200 women across the country and out of all the 6,000 applications received, 5,999 applications mentioned just stitching and weaving work and it was very disheartening.’
