Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Ireland’s Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Clancy:

It is a good question because we have not had any cohort come out yet. My answer is that it would be commensurate to the role and responsibility involved. I am sorry I am not able to give a figure on it but at the end of the day, they are coming out with a degree and they will have that. There is a potential for future income and a development opportunity for the individual. If they want to travel, that qualification is recognised worldwide, as is our hospitality sector. This piece of paper adds credence to their qualifications and if they go away they have a better chance of getting a better paid job in some other country. It helps their job transferability across the world.
