This week we are having a look at a great resource for people in the hospitality industry – www.uksp.co.uk/
UKSP was developed by People 1st – the sector skills council for hospitality, passenger transport, travel and tourism. It is a not-for-profit site which aims to give young people a platform through which they can find out more about the industries, with job information, qualification tips and a range of career tools that can help them find their perfect career path.
On UKSP employers can list job positions as well as source talent. However it was the resources available for workers and young people who want to get into the industry which we found particularly interesting.
Career Map
The career map section is a great interactive map of potential career paths. For instance you can start out from a Cashier and map your potential career growth all the way to upper management. This is a quick, handy resource for young people in the industry to ascertain what avenues they can take in their current career or the jobs which could take them where they want to go. THe map also gives a detailed description of each job and the national average salary, so you can work out exactly what you will be doing and what you should be getting paid.
Personality Test
The personality test is a quick and fun (5 minute) quiz in which you answer questions based on your work ethic, work preferences and personal tastes. AT the end of which UKSP give you a list of the jobs best suited for your personality type. These choices can then be mapped using the Career Map. This is a handy little tool, especially for people just joining the work force. As well as the Personality Test there is also a short Skill Assessment test which is more geared towards people within the industry allready who maybe want to know what other jobs they can apply their skill set to.
