Launched in 2016, Napa Hospitality Industry Partnership (HIP) is led by lodging, winery, and restaurant employers in Napa County, California, and is supported by a range of community partners.
Napa HIP invests in the future of the Napa Hospitality Industry through employer and community collaboration, industry education and employee sustainability, to build a world-class workforce that supports our industry’s growth.
The Yountville Chamber of Commerce took over convening Napa HIP in 2019.
The Napa HIP meets every other month to continue our work on workforce issues in the Napa Valley.
Napa HIP Action Plan
Napa HIP met for the first time in PERSON since February of 2020 on Tuesday, August 31, at Silverado Resort and Spa. The main focus of the meeting was to analyze the current Napa HIP Action Plan and discuss creating a new Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2022.
The Napa HIP Action Plan currently identifies four strategies for Napa HIp to focus on:
- Identify the Demand
- Improve Training Offerings in the Region to Enhance Soft Skills and Job-Specific Skills
- Increase Awareness and Exploration of Hospitality Careers Among Youth
- HIP Member Program Participation
Recognizing that while all these are important Napa HIP is planning to focus more directly on strategies 1 and 3 in the upcoming year.
A new Action Plan will be presented at the October meeting
