We’ve made significant strides toward Meet Boston’s two critical initiatives to strengthen the city’s hospitality and tourism industries. Launched in 2023, the Workforce Development Initiative and the Supplier Diversity Initiative are more than just objectives —they are key pillars of our broader strategy to create a more welcoming, vibrant, inclusive, and prosperous Boston for both residents and visitors.
With the support of over two dozen Meet Boston-affiliated organizations, the Workforce Development Initiative empowers individuals from all backgrounds by providing training and career opportunities to enhance their skills and employability. The CHA team has compiled an extensive list of job openings across Boston’s hotel and tourism sectors, helping many of the city’s most talented professionals secure exciting new careers they may not have previously considered. We remain committed to expanding this list to help even more young professionals achieve their career aspirations.
Another key objective, the Supplier Diversity Initiative, is designed to expand Meet Boston’s network of vendors by including businesses owned by women, minorities, veterans, and other historically marginalized groups. We are excited to share that we are in the final stages of the RFP process, with vendor presentations well underway. We anticipate announcing the contract winner in March.
