IHT stu­dents are highly sought after in the hos­pi­tal­ity indus­try. So much so that 90% of our stu­dents have one or more job offers for full­time employ­ment dur­ing their final work-integrated learn­ing ses­sion or by grad­u­a­tion day!

Career options in hos­pi­tal­ity are not lim­ited to tra­di­tional hotel and restau­rant busi­nesses. Hos­pi­tal­ity grad­u­ates are highly val­ued in ser­vice sec­tors such as tourism, lux­ury retail, mar­ket­ing, finance and tech­nol­ogy where cus­tomer loy­alty depends on qual­ity ser­vice and experience.

So wher­ever you want to take your career – IHT Hotel School is the place to get you started!

The inter­na­tional busi­ness land­scape is con­stantly chang­ing and fas­ci­nat­ing career oppor­tu­ni­ties are now open­ing up because of the lat­est need aris­ing for hos­pi­tal­ity exper­tise in other indus­tries and businesses.

A grow­ing num­ber of cor­po­rate busi­nesses rec­og­nize the strate­gic impor­tance of the “hos­pi­tal­ity ele­ment” and are now turn­ing to hos­pi­tal­ity grad­u­ates for a par­tic­u­lar com­bi­na­tion of skills that is hard to find elsewhere!

Many hotels, travel and event sec­tors con­tact our cam­pus reg­u­larly to look to recruit stu­dents each semes­ter for intern­ship and employ­ment opportunities.

Hos­pi­tal­ity is also one of the world’s fastest grow­ing and most dynamic fields of employ­ment with pos­i­tive trend fore­casts for the com­ing years. Accord­ing to the World Travel & Tourism Coun­cil (WTTC), the indus­try will account for 1 in 10 jobs on the planet by 2023.

At IHT we teach all aspects of tra­di­tional and con­tem­po­rary man­age­ment with a broad per­spec­tive that takes into account all the eco­nomic, human, and cul­tural issues involved.
