Grace left school in 2010 with few qualifications and no idea what she wanted to do with her life
When Grace McGarry left school in 2010, she had few qualifications to her name and little clue what she wanted to do with her life, except getting a job and earning some money.
"I was in a front of house role at the time and I really began to appreciate just how much I was enjoying it. I’m a people person and I really love interacting with those from all walks of life and making their day. After completing a number of essential skills courses including courses in ICT, literacy and numeracy, Grace enrolled on a Higher Level Apprenticeship in tourism, hospitality and event management.
“We really look after each other, staff wellbeing is a priority here. I have something of a motherly role, and I do enjoy looking after the younger staff. “This job can be very different from one day to the next. We have great flexibility and can start at different times as we work around needs outside of work,” said Grace.
While Grace and her colleagues are enjoying the flexibility, freedom and sense of purpose a career in Northern Ireland’s thriving tourism and hospitality industry allows, Tourism NI is encouraging more people to embrace a career in this sector.
