KUCHING: The rise in the number of tourist arrivals in Sarawak by 8.1 per cent from January to September this year compared to last year’s indicates the growing opportunities available to those seeking a career in the hospitality sector.
Recognizing the contributions of the tourism and hospitality industry as a key driver for socio-economic progress, INTI College Sarawak is offering the Certificate in Hotel Operations with the first intake commencing January 2013.
In addition to boosting employability prospects and career advancement in the hospitality industry, the Certificate in Hotel Operations provides a strong foundation for those who wish to pursue the Diploma in Hotel Management or Diploma in Culinary Arts programme at INTI.
Students who have completed SPM with a minimum of 1 credit are eligible to enter the certificate programme. The duration of the programme is 1 year and 4 months inclusive of a 4-month internship. Innovative learning, global exposure and personal development are all part of the holistic learning process at INTI College Sarawak.
With the construction of INTI College Sarawak’s new on-campus production kitchen, training restaurant and mock bathroom, scheduled for completion by the end of the year, the learning experience of the students will be further enhanced.
INTI also enjoys close links with industry partners such as the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), Hilton Kuching, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu, Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa, Grand Dorsett Labuan, Crowne Plaza Mutiara Kuala Lumpur, Impiana Hotel KLCC and many other industry leaders.
