INSPIRE launched back in January 2008 at the Master Inn Holders conference.

Since then we have gained support and commitment from over 80 hotels.

Work experience is proven to be one of the strongest ways of attracting potential recruits into the industry. But as we all know, the only worthwhile work experience is quality work experience.

By ensuring that a positive experience is delivered, employers promote the industry as a whole and benefit by
attracting the best possible candidates or jobs. Another major benefit is that it raises the industry’s profile with key influencers, such as careers advisors, teachers and parents.

By setting out exactly how to make work experience really work, INSPIRE creates the perfect tool for hotels. It is an easy to
use, on and offline, step-by-step guide for all those involved in planning, organising and delivering work experience, from a
short taster experience to a year-long degree student placement. Guidance, support, legal requirements, case studies
and other tools needed to provide quality work experience are supplied to companies and are updated online on a
regular basis.
