MTEC Adds New Private Vocational School! 

On behalf of the Manitoba Tourism Education Council (MTEC) Board of Directors, I am happy to announce that we have added the, Manitoba Training and Education Centre as an associated not-for-profit corporation. The new corporation is a Private Vocational School that will deliver 6 to 8 week training programs to prepare future employees to work in the Hospitality Industry in Manitoba.The first four approved training programs are:

• Line Cook,
• Food & Beverage Server,
• Housekeeping Room Attendant,
• Front Desk Clerk.

We want to thank the industry for its letters of support for the new school. For more information about the new Private Vocation School please CLICK HERE to see our brochure.  

The Manitoba Tourism Education Council (MTEC) will not change our current programming and will continue to offer a variety of complimentary and subsidized workshops in Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba. The addition of the vocational school was a natural progression for MTEC to be able to meet the hospitality, tourism and retail industries in Manitoba's current and growing employment needs by developing a well-trained, professional workforce.

What's New

Strong Partnerships

MTEC and Manitoba Start are once again partnering to offer a training program for New Comers. Our past two training programs successfully trained Front Desk Agents, Banquet Servers and Line Cooks. Many of these trained professionals are now working in our industry, here in Winnipeg as well as in rural locations.

The next training program will focus on the occupation of Event Coordinator, with the aim of providing these new comers with Canadian Workplace Essential Skills to assist them in making the transition to finding employment and working in Manitoba.  

Many of these highly skilled participants have an extensive background in marketing, event planning, executive administration, and graphic arts, with several of them previously owning and operating their own businesses.

Several of them have international hospitality experience ranging from time spent in China and Switzerland to the Ukraine and the Philippines.

If you would like more information about this program or any of the participants, please contact Lori Slobodian at MTEC 204-957-7437 or by email at lslobodian@mtec.mb.ca.
