Dual education in the field of hotel management and catering is a global trend, which has recently arrived in our area. The demands of this industry for highly qualified staff require applied knowledge and skills acquired during studies, thanks to which hotel and catering professionals can immediately join the labor market, not only locally, but also worldwide.
Now our experts in this field are not lagging behind their colleagues from other countries, thanks to the opportunity to study and obtain diplomas from the most prestigious educational institution for hotel and catering in the world - École hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL). For years, this renowned school has been recognized as the world's leading educational institution in the hotel industry, and its students are the highest-ranked experts in demand around the world.
Recently, our country also became part of the prestigious EHL community, through Ohma Academy, the only educational institution operating under the license of the VET by EHL program (vocational education and practice), which was created and licensed by EHL. By joining this program, our students have the opportunity to become part of the hundred-year tradition of Swiss education in the field of hotel and catering, with an alumni community of over 25 members.
Since March, the first generation of students in Belgrade has already been acquiring knowledge according to the program based on the Swiss state model of education, while the enrollment of the new generation, which will attend classes from September, is ongoing. Through four study programs - Culinary, Rooms division, Hotel administration and Food & Beverage Services, participants are enabled to simultaneously acquire, develop and improve their knowledge and skills in accordance with the highest global standards in this industry, while the internationally recognized VET by EHL diploma opens the door to the world hotel industry.
Uroš Urošević, executive director of the company winsedswiss in Serbia, which brought this new model of education to our premises, points out that the service industry is increasingly demanding in terms of service quality and professional skills of professionals, which today focuses on dual education and applied knowledge as a comparative an advantage in the career development of professionals who are valued and sought after in the hotel industry.
"Our goal is to create entire generations of highly qualified professionals, who can match their colleagues anywhere in the world and who will have the skills and education that allow them fantastic professional opportunities, not only in Serbia but anywhere in the world. We believe that in just a few years we will make a great connection between education and the economy and contribute to a significant improvement in the quality of the professional staff, as well as the entire industry. " - adds Uroš Urošević.
For the first time in our country, the exclusive model of dual education focuses on learning through practice, in which participants perform the three-month practical part of the course in renowned hotels and catering facilities in Serbia and the region, such as Hyatt Regency, Mona Plaza, Hilton, Falkensteiner and numerous others, which allows them to get to know the work of all hotel operational departments and prepare for a career according to international standards.
In the training center itself, participants work with mentors and certified EHL trainers, who are recognized hospitality and hotel professionals, and guest lectures and workshops provide an additional opportunity for exercises and training in the environments of diplomatic residences and institutions where the highest standards of hospitality are required.
