GED Career Bridge to Hospitality Curriculum
The Virginia Adult Learning Resource Center was contracted by the Virginia
Department of Education, Office of Adult Education & Literacy, to produce a career-
focused GED instruction guide based on WIN's GED Learning in the Workplace
Curricula Guide for Hospitality, in a teacher-friendly format. This document became
GED Career Bridge to Hospitality.
The guide includes:
- GED as Project Inquiry Activities, adapted to hospitality contexts and designed
for teachers to pull and use "as is"
- Current hospitality industry vocabulary lists, lessons and resources
- A variety of career briefs in the hospitality field, from Career Prospects in Virginia
- Hospitality-related reading material and lesson plans
This curriculum was piloted during fiscal year 2006/7. The pilot programs were:
- Henrico County Adult Education
- Virginia Beach City Public Schools - Adult Learning Center
- Roanoke City Public Schools
Many thanks to our Hospitality partners in each pilot region, and especially to the
"subject matter experts" who volunteered their time and expertise to develop the
material in this book so that it is on-target and valuable to hospitality industry employers:
- Cecilia Thomas, Owner/Manager of Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Richmond, Virginia
- Patrick Foley, CHA, Member Board of Directors, Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association
- Dennis Flannery, Rhonda Allison, and Jen Streit of the Virginia Hospitality and Travel Association
