The Ministry of Youth, in conjunction with Johnson & Wales University, is sponsoring 60 tourism students. The students are receiving specialized training at the Casa de Campo training institute, which is located at the tourist complex in La Romana. The three-week course trains students in the areas of bartending, kitchen, restaurants and housekeeping, combined with intensive English language training. The institute is equipped with model hotel and cruise ship bedrooms and has a large kitchen and classrooms where the students practice their English and learn about the tourist industry. Institute Director Helen Fox said that once the students have completed the course they would be fully qualified to enter the job market. Youth Minister Manuel Crespo said that the course would run twice a year and that it fills the country's need for personnel trained in the hotel business. The Instituto Preparatorio de Casa de Campo and Johnson & Wales was founded in 2003 and since then 5,000 students have graduated from the institute.
