Sandals Launches Training Programme
Sandals Resorts announced a hospitality training programme for secondary‑school students in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, aimed at workforce development and community engagement. The initiative is positioned to strengthen local talent pipelines amid tight regional labor markets.
The Student Hospitality Etiquette and Service Excellence Programme nbcsvg.com is scheduled for March 18 at 9:00 a.m. and specifically targets secondary‑school students enrolled in food and nutrition, food & beverage, and hospitality courses.

The rollout follows a pilot internship co‑created with the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College that placed 15 students in a four‑week programme running May 12–June 6, 2025 across culinary, food & beverage and tourism disciplines iwnsvg.com. Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which opened on March 27, 2024 with 301 rooms and multiple culinary concepts, has continued scaling local training after the resort launch; Sandals Corporate University has funded regional learning partnerships with institutions including Florida International University and Accelerating Leaders to support those initiatives prnewswire.com.
