This booklet highlights the efforts of four hospitality employers and one "intermediary" organization connecting workplace experiences to classroom learning for secondary school students. The introduction presents a series overview and lists the names, locations, and featured practice of the employers and organizations. The next sections examine the hospitality industry, reasons why school-to-careers is an ideal strategy for addressing hospitality industry skill needs, and how the employer participation model works with students and teachers. These employers and intermediaries and their best practices are profiled: (1) Holiday Inn (Somerville, Massachusetts), which is introducing students to the workplace through hands-on experience; (2) Baltimore Convention Center and 72 local restaurants (Baltimore, Maryland), which give students job shadowing opportunities; (3) The Outback Steakhouse (Denver, Colorado), which is building a strong foundation in skills through mentoring; (4) Hyatt Hotel (Savannah, Georgia), which is demonstrating that teachers can be students too; and (5) The Hospitality Business Alliance and New Mexico, which are bringing educators together to learn about industry needs and trends. The following items are also included: (1) an annotated list of eight organizations and resources; (2) a glossary; and (3) a discussion of steps to build on the National Employer Leadership Council's agenda.
