Alberni Valley Tourism Training Program

Through a Grant Initiative first started by the Chamber of Commerce and Community Futures Alberni-Clayoquot we are pleased to report that the City of Port Alberni has succeeded in accessing Grant Funds for a major effort to help educate Front Line people in our local stores.

The theme of the program (300 people targeted) is to provide them with 5 X 4 hour sessions to learn more about Port Alberni, about our history, about our First Nations Culture, about Customer Service & about Social Media Communications. In the end those folks will be well-equipped to answer questions from Visitors to the area.

The Chamber of Commerce is the lead hand in this project and has hired Ms. Genevieve Eichstadher to lead the project.
