“I never thought I’d get a glimpse into what it takes to work in a hotel—but this virtual experience let me explore real hospitality roles and try out interactive tasks. I worked through it at my own pace, got a certificate for my CV, and now I feel this could actually be my future. I’ve already started looking for other ways to level up my skills!”
