Undertaken three years ago,the first batch of students is all set to hit the industry with the skills acquired during the three-year training programme at the hotel. During the tenure,the students,selected with the help of organisations such as LABS,CASP,AASHRAY,SOS and SAMPARC are trained on various aspects related to the hotel industry grooming them to be professionals who can make effective careers out of the service industry. Some of the aspects of the training include- personality development workshops,social skills,spoken English training and so on. The students are also provided a basic stipend during the tenure of the course. while the first two years focus on orientation through various departments of the hotel,the last year focuses on the specialisation decided by the students themselves.
