4. Redesign of Human Trafficking curriculum/modules

​

These modules are focused on providing you with a brief, yet comprehensive, understanding of the impact human trafficking has on the hospitality and tourism industry. We revised the learning objectives, added more videos and resources. Each course has a module with survey, quiz and adaptive learning activity

Tailored the information to reflect frequently targeted segments in the hospitality industry:

  • Large Event Industries: Sports and Entertainment Venues
