MAKING THE PAN OUT FILM
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
Creating a resource for schools, Pan Out worked with five employers and film makers gofilmit TV. Each employer was chosen to bring a different representation of the Hospitality industry, in order to fully demonstrate the variety of career that can be available.
Each employer spoke about their own careers in the sector why it appealed to them and what they think it can offer young people, as well as the kinds of skills and qualities they are needed to work in hospitality.
