Tourism Industry Hospitality Training

Begin the training
The free Online Hospitality Training is available to any travel and tourism industry partners for assistance with training their staff. This training is primarily meant for front-line employees and provides the basic skills needed to be successful in welcoming our guests to South Dakota.
“In the summertime we have a lot of staff that have never had a job before. They have no soft skills, they have no idea what a job is, they’ve never worked in the hospitality industry. For those staff members especially, it’s really important that they get a chance to be exposed to good habits early on. One of the first things we do is have them take the state hospitality program.”
- Tom Hagen, owner of Rush Mountain Adventure Park and Rushmore Cave
