🌟 Empowering Our Team Through Language 🌟 As students return to school, a new class of Bartell Hotels employees is embarking on their own learning journey! At BARTELL HOTELS, we believe in investing in our people—because when our team thrives, so do our guests! We are proud to partner with SDSU Imperial Valley's Professional Skills Development Center to offer a custom English as a Second Language program tailored specifically for our hospitality workers. This innovative four-month course, English as a Second Language with an Emphasis on Hospitality, is designed to help our employees enhance their English proficiency, with a special focus on customer service language skills. Twice a week, after their shifts, our dedicated team members commit to learning and growing, ensuring they can communicate effectively and confidently in the workplace. With around one-third of our 1,000 employees being non-native English speakers, this program is a significant step in empowering them to succeed. We cover the costs because we believe in breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all. A big thank you to SDSU Imperial Valley and Cristina Alfaro and our own Lydia Bartell for creating and maintaining this valuable partnership, and to our incredible employees like Ivan Castro, engineer HILTON SAN DIEGO AIRPORT/HARBOR ISLAND for their commitment to growth and excellence. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected team—one that reflects the diverse community we serve. #BartellHotels #EmployeeEmpowerment #LanguageLearning #Hospitality #SDSU #ProfessionalDevelopment
