INSTRUCTOR
Aaron Mai
I am the Tourism Hospitality Management Level 2 Instructor, born and raised in Santa Elena Town, Cayo District. After working in the Tourism Industry as an F&B Manager for 13 years, it gives me great fulfillment to empower and equipped the next generation of front-line tourism workers. In 2019, I was also awarded the opportunity to study in Taiwan, at one of their top Hospitality University, HungKuang University. I believe that weaknesses remain weaknesses when there is no training, but with proper training, weakness becomes strengthens. This opportunity that I now have as an Instructor to pass on the knowledge that I have acquired is one of my greatest accomplishments. To travel throughout the country of Belize, and see a Cayo CET trainee working as a Professional Server, Cook, Bartender, or Manager at all major Resorts is the icing on the cake for me.
