“I have not rolled my bump badly”, recognizes Antoine Biewesch, 29, who was a Tower Barman, Master of Hotel and Groom in prestigious establishments in Paris and Switzerland. Today, he is a real estate advisor in an Orpi network agency in Nogent-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne. Like Antoine, many employees abandoned the hotel-restoration.
This is a real hemorrhage known by the sector, already facing a chronic shortage of labor before the pandemic. “Prior to the health crisis, from 130,000 to 150,000 jobs remained vacant, explains Vincent Sitz, President of the Employment-Training Committee of the National Independent Catering (GNI), and between the two confines, some 110,000 people have left the sector. “

“I am persuaded that the workforce coming from the sector is well received in other areas, because their behavioral skills are appreciated,” says Pierre Courbebaisse, President of the AFEC, training organization. It is true that the list of their assets is long: sense of customer service, habit of working in the emergency, faculty to be both in the oven and the mill, dynamism, great adaptability … so much Soft Skills (“Skills behavioral “) easily transferable in other sectors.
