Hospitality program connects in Tulsa

 10/16/2015

The TulsaWORKS Hospitality Training Program is off to a grand start, making strong connections in the community and the local hospitality industry.

 
 TulsaWORKS Coordinator Christina Ward, program Director Sabrina Ware and hospitality instructor Allen Everett attended their first Metro Tulsa Hotel and Lodging Association luncheon Thursday at the Cox Center. The team gave a presentation about the Hospitality Training program and enjoyed a great networking experience.

 Everett was a judge in the Metro Tulsa Hotel and Lodging Association Bed Making Contest at the Hyatt Regency in Tulsa on September 14. The competition commemorated International Housekeeping Week. Tulsa area housekeepers competed to see who was the fastest and most skilled.

 Everett and co-judges Scott Galloway, with Tulsa Technology Center, and Karen Larsen, of Channel 2, judged the housekeepers on overall quality and neatness. With hotel staff cheering on their peers, the event was loud — and extremely fun.
