The study proposes to clarify what are the general training and further education needs of personnel who intend to enter a career in the Catering, Restaurant and Liquor Sales sectors of the Tourism and Hospitality Industry, and those who are already employed in one of the sectors. The study also proposes: 1. to identify the immediate training needs to meet the specific current requirements of the Industry in the ACT and surrounding districts; 2. to ascertain the perceived future requirements to allow for the provision of relevant training and further education facilities to meet the challenge of tomorrow. It is also hoped that the results of the needs analysis will assist curriculum planners in the formulation of accurate educational objectives to assist the construction of valid programmes of study leading to employment into the Industry.
