Free Welcomer Training
Ancient Connections says: “As inflation rises to challenge the tourism industry and local businesses struggle to recruit and retain staff, we know that the local tourism economy needs all the support it can get to fulfil visitor expectation, improve on the welcome and service we can offer visitors, and grow the sector sustainably over the coming years.
“Welcomer training is designed to support those in the hospitality and retail industry to do just that. It’s a light-touch programme created to help develop visitor-facing and seasonal staff teams. From waiting staff to hospitality receptionists, taxi drivers to shop assistants, this free two-half-day programme will help get skills polished up.
“And the best news of all is that Ancient Connections is offering a new Welcomers Business Subsidy of £60 to cover the two half-days of staff training.”
Training days coming up in North Pembrokeshire:
Monday 3 October at St Peter’s Church Hall, Goodwick
Tuesday 22 November at Oriel y Parc, St Davids
“Training places are limited, so booking is vital. You can apply for the Welcomer Business Subsidy at the same time. To book your place, click the blue button below.”

Ancient Connections is an exciting heritage and arts programme which seeks to revive the ancient links between the people of Pembrokeshire and North Wexford in Ireland. Both communities have a deeply entwined, shared heritage and history that extends back millennia from prehistory to modern day. The project which hopes to build connections between the two areas is funded by the European Regional Development Fund and is supported by Wexford County Council, Visit Wexford, Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
