STEPS < 1 min read

STEPS has launched a free, nationally recognised SIT20322 Certificate II in Hospitality course in Caloundra to help people on the Sunshine Coast enter the region’s thriving hospitality industry.

Delivered at the STEPS Caloundra site through the Skills for Education and Employment (SEE) Program, the course equips eligible participants with practical, job-ready skills to support local workforce demand.

STEPS CEO Cassie Stanley said the launch of the course responds to hospitality venues across the Sunshine Coast seeking reliable, trained staff.

“The Sunshine Coast hospitality sector is always looking for skilled new hires, especially with tourism continuing to boom,” Ms Stanley said.

“This Hospitality course gives jobseekers the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification and hands-on experience, so they’re ready to confidently step into roles in cafes, restaurants, hotels and events.”

Participants will develop practical skills in customer service, workplace health and safety, food hygiene and effective teamwork, preparing them to work in real hospitality settings.

“Our STEPS team provides a supportive learning environment where participants feel encouraged and empowered every step of the way,” Ms Stanley said.

To apply and find out more information about the course including eligibility criteria and course dates, visit stepsgroup.com.au/hospitality or contact our team on 1300 131 965 or customercare@stepsgroup.com.au.
