The Hospitality Sector
Westchester and Putnam Counties have a flourishing hospitality industry made up of hotels, conference centers, country clubs, and restaurants. The hospitality sector is essential to the economic vitality of the region as it promotes tourism and strengthens community.
The Westchester-Putnam One Stop Employment Center, in partnership with the Hospitality Resource Group, Inc., is leading the sector partnership. The work of the partners is to engage with employers in the region in order to identify the workforce gaps and needs that exist to determine the education and training programs that are necessary to meet the needs of employers.
