The scholarships were awarded at the annual HIT Talent Conference, which took place in Glasgow, on 2nd February at the Voco Grand Central Hotel. HIT’s scholarship programme is open to anyone in Scotland working in the industry or studying towards a career in hospitality.

Scholarships offer learning experiences to help develop new skills, knowledge, best practice and fresh thinking. They focus on business, operational and inspirational empowerment and are tailored to an individual’s aspirations. 

David Cochrane, HIT Scotland chief executive, said: “HIT Is delighted to announce 414 deserving beneficiaries of scholarships this year. These awards are important for ensuring hospitality talent is nurtured to help people forge successful careers and contribute to this vital Scottish industry. We look forward to following all our scholars progress in future months and years.”
