Value/originality. A general idea of the system of in-house personnel training is presented. In the terminology of the work, training was defined as a purposeful process of organizing the activities of those who study with the acquisition of knowledge, abilities, skills and competencies, the acquisition of activity experience, the development of abilities, the acquisition of experience in the application of knowledge in everyday life and the formation of motivation for obtaining education throughout life. Internal training is defined as a systematic process of formation and development of professional skills, knowledge and abilities of personnel, necessary for improving the functioning of a specific firm, carried out by the firm's own forces on the basis of stimulation and development of employees' competencies. The specifics of the functioning of the internal training system at the enterprises of the hotel and restaurant industry have been studied. It was found that the specific features of in-house training in such organizations are the possible presence of their own training centers and programs, the presence of a significant budget for training, the geographical distance of hotels from training centers, the economic attractiveness of remote forms of training and mentoring. The main stages of the process of in-house training are considered, including in relation to the enterprises of the hotel and restaurant business. At the stage of personnel training planning, the need for personnel training is determined, the training goals and their quantitative characteristics (evaluation criteria) are determined. At the same time, the main participants in the process are management employees who create the regulatory and target aspects of the internal training system. At the stage of implementation, it is envisaged to identify the employees who will be trained, organize training and directly conduct training (application of personnel training methods). Students pass a test based on the results of their studies. Control and evaluation of training involves its monitoring and comparison of results with the specified criteria.
