Long-term vision

The Purposeful Hospitality Hub

A physical environment that could bring together:

  • hospitality workforce development
  • leadership and training
  • wellness programming
  • community gathering
  • applied learning and hospitality experiences
  • employment opportunities

Not a current facility or service. The Hub is a long-term vision for where PHF is building toward.

The five stages

From restoration to giving back.

  1. 1

    Restore

    Rebuild confidence and stability through self-awareness, goals, wellness, and community. Purposeful Pathways is the first step.

  2. 2

    Develop

    Build practical skills for hospitality and the workplace, from food and drink to hotels, events, service, and leadership.

  3. 3

    Apply

    Put skills to work through community events, partnerships, and hands-on learning, as partners and plans come together.

  4. 4

    Advance

    Grow a career beyond a first job through leadership, management, starting a business, consulting, and coaching.

  5. 5

    Give Back

    Graduates may one day return as mentors, coaches, trainers, employers, and volunteers. Over time, the pathway becomes led by its own community.
