Dates:
You may begin your program at any time of the year
with the exception of the Christmas and New Year’s Holiday
period, which is generally December 15-January 15th. We also
cannot place people who wish to end their placements directly
before Christmas. This is a very busy period of the hospitality
year, making it very hard to train new staff at this time.
