The Visit Baltimore Education & Training Foundation was founded to promote and support Baltimore City and the local tourism community.
Our Mission
The Visit Baltimore Education and Training Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to developing Baltimore’s workforce and strengthening its tourism community.
We do this by:
- Offering apprenticeships: This 600-hour, paid apprenticeship program provides a student from an underrepresented community the opportunity to gain valuable skills by working within the tourism community. This program is currently on hold due to funding limitations.
- Promoting careers in tourism: Through our presence at job fairs, public outreach and other hiring events, we help connect job-seekers with opportunities in the hospitality, retail and transportation sectors.
Board of Directors
The Visit Baltimore Education & Training Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, providing oversight of its scholarship programs and fundraising efforts as well as input for its strategic direction.
