To learn about great high-paying, high demand jobs that do not require a college degree, check out the Apprenticeship NH site. Apprenticeships follow an “Earn and Learn” model where students have a paid job while learning the necessary skills to earn a nationally recognized credential. As skills are learned, the salary is guaranteed to increase! There are apprenticeships in MANY industries, not just the skilled trades, including Healthcare, Information Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Hospitality and Construction & Infrastructure.

APRIL is NH HOSPITALITY MONTH, but we should celebrate good food, entertainment and lodging all the time!
Because tours weren’t possible in April 2020, the NH Lodging and Restaurant Association has created a YouTube playlist- Virtual New Hampshire Hospitality Month which features some chef demos, a chef tv pilot, kitchen tours, kitchen chats and a couple of tours from New Hampshire Hospitality Month 2019. Also, there are several virtual tours on the Visit NH website.
Bon Appetit!
