The Asia foundation is currently working with development, government and private sector partners to promote development of the tourism industry and employment for youth in the tourism and hospitality sectors through raising awareness of different kinds of career opportunities in these sectors. We invite 15-20 teams of volunteer students to each produce “Career Introductory Video”(CIV) with the title of “Foka ba Futuru”.
The CIV videos will be published on a career website and on facebook so that young students and young job seekers can access and get ideas of what opportunities are in the hospitality and tourism sectors and what skills they need to have to be able to participate in those job opportunities. The short videos will show the pathway from school to working in the career – that is, information on the career, what is the career, how do you get the job, any training / study to help you get the job, and will profile successful Timorese who are already working in these careers to act as inspiration and role model.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three Career Introductory Videos!
Project Objectives:
- To engage students University to produce open source CIV videos that will inform Timorese students/publics of potential careers in the Tourism and Hospitality sector
- To promote CIV production competition among the participating university students and engage youth in career decision making process
- To promote the tourism and hospitality sectors as attractive and viable professional with clear steps to achieving employment in the sectors
