The Salvation Army Employment Plus, AHS Hospitality and Hostec have teamed together to staff the housekeeping department of Wollongong's newest hotel, The Chifley. The partnership has provided nine new jobs and an opportunity for those job seekers selected to gain a Certificate III in Hospitality Services.
