VIVERE Hotel, ARTOTEL Curated in collaboration with MATALESOGE hospitaABLElity Academy held a one-day training with theme Table Manner Essential, the event which took place from 9.00 WIB to 15.00 WIB.
According to Ms. Inda Rambu, General Manager of VIVERE Hotel said to empower skills breaking barriers, this activity has a series of events consisting of table manner material sharing with role playing, and the event became even more lively with musical performances by ‘Mata Squad’ band, which aims to provide education related to empowering skills and abilities for people with special needs.
“We held this activity as part of our hotel’s empowerment program in the implementation of the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) program launched by the hotel since the beginning, where we collaborated with MATALESOGE hospitABLElity Academy to show our concern for individuals with needs, especially by making our hotel chain a friendly hotel for individuals with special needs, and also providing a place for them to hone their skills and social skills especially in table manner program,” she said.
Inda Rambu explained, it’s too sad, especially since we recently read a news story about a special needs student being turned down by a hotel for a one-day field trip because the hotel management had its own standard criteria for employees. So, from now on all the employees at our hotel to be able to offer training/internships to people with special needs.
So, for this we will continue to work with MATALESOGE hospitaABLElity Academy as a hospitality training center for people with special needs, so we from the hotel will add criteria according to the hotel’s needs to recruit the training participants from MATALESOGE hospitaABLElity Academy.
“In the future, we want VIVERE Hotel to be an example for other hotels in Tangerang area to empower people with special needs to work in hotels. For us, people with special needs have basic rights, human rights, to learn and work just like normal people,” Inda Rambu affirmed.
Meanwhile, Tommy Hermanses, Founder/CEO of MATALESOGE hospitaABLElity Academy added that empowerment is a pure value that must be “transmitted” through forums and communities that have the same humanitarian vision. Any individual, community or institution that cares about inclusiveness will always join hands to provide equal opportunities.
“With this event, we hope that more institutions will care and understand the world of inclusivity. Thank you to VIVERE Hotel Tangerang for giving us this opportunity and in the future, we hope we can fulfil of VIVERE Hotel programs, I hope this hotel will also be a pioneer in the hotel industry in strengthening this program,” he concluded.
