Inside the Taste of Talent Lunch at WCTC

​On April 29, the Greater Milwaukee Hotel & Lodging Association (GMHLA) hosted a memorable Taste of Talent Lunch at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), bringing together hospitality professionals, students, and educators for an engaging and inspiring experience.

Guests enjoyed a curated, student-prepared culinary lunch that showcased not only exceptional talent in the kitchen but also the creativity, discipline, and passion driving WCTC’s hospitality programs. Throughout the event, attendees heard directly from students and faculty about hands-on learning, skill development, and the pathways preparing students for careers in the hotel and lodging industry. A guided tour of the campus provided a behind-the-scenes look at the spaces where this training comes to life every day.

The energy throughout the event reflected a shared excitement for the future of the industry and the importance of continued investment in workforce development and education partnerships.
