Guernsey hotel starts youth shadowing scheme

A group of young people in Guernsey will have the chance to learn more about working in the hospitality industry in the island.

The Old Government House hotel has begun a hospitality shadowing scheme.

This will give five island students aged between 16 and 18 the opportunity to experience life in one of Guernsey's top hotels.

The business is hoping to encourage young islanders to choose a career in hospitality.

General manager Andrew Chantrell said it was an exciting career choice, with clear and continuous training and development.
