Warm Welcome

Cincinnati’s hospitality industry just got a little bit more friendly!

This week, Visit Cincy held a celebration at Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled (LADD) for the most five recent graduates of the Dan Lincoln Institute for Hospitality Leadership (IHL).

The new grads participated in a 12-week program designed to prepare students for work in the Cincinnati region’s hospitality industry, including certification in the Cincy USA Tourism Ambassador Program. The IHL is an initiative to increase skilled and diverse talent in the hospitality sector. Though typically conducted in schools, this was the first partnership with LADD.

LADD provides and develop support services that help people develop their independence and live successfully in the community. Currently, LADD offers services to nearly 750 people through the supports it offers.
