Vatel Bahrain organised a workshop for students from St. Christopher’s School who are enrolled in the BTEC Travel and Tourism pathway.
The workshop was held in collaboration with
Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain as part of the college’s ongoing efforts to broaden
students’ awareness of higher education opportunities within the hospitality
sector and to introduce them to the diverse academic and professional options
available in this dynamic field.
The workshop highlighted the bachelor's
degree in international Hotel Management offered by Vatel Bahrain as an ideal
option for students who wish to continue their university studies in the same
discipline and build on their academic and professional journey in tourism,
hospitality and hotel management.
The college’s team presented an overview of
the programme and the promising prospects it offers for excellence within the
local, regional and international hospitality markets.
The programme features a significant
practical training component delivered in four-star and five-star hotels across
the Kingdom of Bahrain and abroad, enabling students to acquire global
professional experience that prepares them to enter the job market with
confidence and strong competitive capabilities.
During the workshop, students were
introduced to the fundamental skills required in the hospitality industry, in
addition to the most prominent career pathways and opportunities for
professional growth within the sector.
The workshop also addressed the strong
interest expressed by many students in pursuing their university studies in
Bahrain while still benefiting from an international learning experience.
Vatel Bahrain offers this possibility
through global internship placements that provide students with hands on
experience in leading hospitality institutions around the world while they
continue their academic studies within the Kingdom.
Sheikh Khaled bin Khalifa Al Khalifa,
General Director of Vatel Bahrain, stated: "This initiative underscores the
college’s ambition to nurture a new generation of talented young individuals
equipped to excel in the hospitality sector across Bahrain, the region and the
wider global landscape. By supporting students in their academic and
professional development and guiding them as they explore the breadth of
opportunities within the hospitality field before entering university, the
college helps broaden their perspectives and enables them to make informed
decisions grounded in practical insight and real-world understanding."
Sheikh Khaled added that the college
remains committed to strengthening its collaboration with a wide range of
educational institutions and to organising open day activities and introductory
sessions that showcase the opportunities available at Vatel Bahrain.
These efforts aim to raise awareness of the advantages offered to students, which include an advanced and stimulating learning environment and training experiences of international caliber, along with strong assurances of high-quality employment opportunities for all graduates. -TradeArabia News Service
