Why we do it

We’re passionate supporters of the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industries, and are committed to assisting the development of businesses and their people. We encourage and promote continuous training – creating an environment where employers have access to the right skills and qualifications for their businesses and employees benefit from rewarding career opportunities.

And, by improving the skills of people working in the industry, we’re well placed to maintain the UK’s status as a superior visitor destination!

Who are we?

Who we are

UKSP was developed by People 1st – the sector skills council for hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism.

People 1st is working to transform skills across the industry – particularly in the areas of management and leadership, customer service and craft skills. We are committed to ensuring that public funds support the industry to develop only those qualifications and programmes that meet employers’ needs.
 
All the information on UKSP has been developed through our intensive consultation and collaboration with employers and training providers across the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industry.
 
We also develop and deliver training solutions through the People 1st Training Company – www.people1sttraining.co.uk – which helps service-centred companies become more competitive, build capacity and focus on the essentials of their business.
