The class was held in the lab kitchen. As a writing assignment ESL Tourism students were required to prepare a resume. After spending several days of classroom time on this task we attended a resume writing workshop. This was held at the YMCA-YWCA Career Contact Centre for Youth in downtown Kelowna. Some helpful hints, as well as a really useful booklet, provided our group with updated information regarding resume and cover letter writing.
Sexual harassment is unwanted and unwelcome sexual attention.
Marie Molloy from OUC's Sexual Harassment Office spent a morning with the ESL Tourism class discussing this topic. The students are now aware of Canadian policy with regard to this subject and what they can do if they should find themselves a victim of sexual harassment. The Superhost Workshop was presented by Lynn Powell from OUC's Tourism Department. It is an eight hour program which focuses on the needs of visitors and customers. In preparation for finding work in their home countries the students participated in a three hour Interview Skills Workshop.
