Project HOST (Hospitality Occupational Skills Training) provided vocational training and employment opportunities in the hotel industry to disadvantaged adult minority populations in Chicago. It demonstrated a model for successful cooperation between the business sector and a public vocational education agency and developed and piloted a vocational training curriculum that integrated basic, critical thinking, and on-the-job coping skills. A pilot version of the curriculum was developed and revised at the completion of each of the four training demonstration cycles. A curriculum summary/guide was developed. Outreach and recruitment efforts reached over 300 prospective students through a network that included welfare agencies, Job Training Partnership Act providers, social service agencies, and community-based organizations. The project conducted intake for and assessed over 204 participants, using project-developed assessment and interview forms. Supportive employment services included employment counseling, hotel tours, peer support groups, and job development, placement, and follow-up. Upon completion of the 8-week training, students participated in work experience internships. Evaluation results indicated the project was successful in meeting goals and objectives.
