By mastering daily living tasks like cooking and cleaning, students develop greater independence and self-efficacy. This, in turn, enhances self-esteem as they successfully complete tasks and receive positive reinforcement. Additionally, hospitality training encourages social interaction, communication, and empathy, promoting the development of crucial social skills.

Furthermore, these programs cultivate responsibility and accountability by teaching students to care for others and manage household responsibilities. This preparation equips students for future living, whether in independent or supported living arrangements.

The integration of hospitality skills also promotes community engagement, enabling students to interact with others and build meaningful connections.
