Supervisors and managers in the Caribbean’s hospitality sector have up to August 15 to apply for a part-time training programme that will give them the skills needed to get promoted over the next two to three years.
The new professional development programme for Caribbean hospitality professionals is an initiative of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association Education Foundation (CHTAEF) and Les Roches Global Hospitality Education. “The rigorous yet flexible academic programme is designed to be pursued alongside students’ current job commitments, allowing them to accelerate their careers without interrupting them,” says the CHTA.
The programme covers nine subjects in five study units, each lasting approximately one month, and requires a weekly commitment of 10 to 12 hours to complete. To participate in the programme, Caribbean candidates must have a minimum of four years’ hospitality experience, including one year in a supervisory position, and have the endorsement of their hotel. The deadline for applications is August 15, and the programme will begin on September 19, 2021. Financial assistance in the form of scholarships is available.
Subjects include:
- A Practical Approach to Protocol & Etiquette;
- Innovative, Alternative and Sustainable Trends In Tourism;
- Advanced Hospitality Operations;
- Leadership and Organisational Behaviour;
- Advanced Finance and Budgeting;
- Marketing Strategies for Hotel Management;
- Entrepreneurship and Business Modelling;
- Revenue Management; and
- Data Analytics (digital) for Decision Making.
