Small giant's big leap
THE RISE of hospitality and tourism as one of the leading industries across the globe has thrown up new career avenues for youngsters. Recent times have witnessed this sector emerging as a major generator of jobs and in the process throwing up an unprecedented demand in various operations related to it.

It is in this backdrop that the Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality held a seminar in the city for the benefit of youngsters keen on tapping the emerging career opportunities. C.V. Wijeratne, a senior faculty from the school, made a detailed presentation on `Academics and real world of tourism and hospitality management,' which came with pointers on the curricula and career.

Impressive list
Located in Passugg, 10 minutes outside of the picturesque city of Chur in Switzerland, the Swiss School has an impressive list of courses, which includes Bachelor of Business Administration in Toursim and Hospitality Management, Swiss Higher Diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management, Swiss Diploma in Hotel Operations, Hospitality Management Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma

Mr. Wijeratne says the school is one of the five Swiss Government-recognised hotel management schools and teaches both in English and German. "We have a multinational faculty and presently we have over 500 students from 50 countries," he says.

He describes the Indian hospitality industry as `a small giant that is waking up.' There have been several students from the country who underwent courses at the Swiss School which helped Mr. Wijeratne in taking a closer look at the Indian students pursued their studies and career.

"I have realised that Indian students are very studious and practice-oriented. They are not bookworms but the ones who demand to know real-life situations," he says. The institution comes with state-of-the-art classroom facility, student-operated bar and discotheque and a student kitchen and a huge recreation centre in Chur. Admissions are done in January and August each year. Details on admissions, free visa guidance and counselling can be had from school representatives at Renaissance Seers Consultants, which is located at Prabha Plaza, S.P. Road, Begumpet (phone number 55494789). Interested students can also visit the school website www.ssth.ch
