Help Bergzicht Training with 5 volunteers for Bergzicht students working in the Hospitality Industry
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
At Bergzicht we upskill and empower our learners to make them more employable and develop their self leadership skills. Mentors play a crucial role in shaping the success of learners entering the hospitality industry by bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world practice. Through mentorship, learners gain first-hand exposure to industry standards, customer service expectations, and the fast-paced nature of hospitality environments. A mentor not only provides technical guidance—such as improving culinary techniques, managing events, or ensuring guest satisfaction—but also helps learners build essential soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. By sharing their own experiences and offering constructive feedback, mentors inspire confidence and professionalism in learners while guiding them to avoid common mistakes. Ultimately, mentorship enhances employability, accelerates career growth, and instils the adaptability and resilience needed to thrive in the dynamic hospitality sector.
Helpful tips
Stay safe

- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
