'Prospects bright for hospitality management jobs'

The Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management (CAHM) held its annual convocation recently. The chief guest was Minister of Higher Education and Research, Dr Sarath Amunugama while High Commissioner of Australia to Sri Lanka, Robin Mudie was the guest of honour.

CAHM is a joint venture with the William Angliss Institute, a world acclaimed specialist centre for food, tourism, hospitality and events, and the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology.

With a student body of about 320 currently, the courses that the Institute offers range from hospitality to corporate, including programs on guest services, professional food and beverage services, front office, management, executive development, understanding international guest culture, dealing with conflict situations and human resources and staff development.

Spanning across two years, the overall program follows four stages - Certificate III in Hospitality, Certificate IV in Hospitality, Diploma in Hospitality and Advanced Diploma in Hospitality.

"The program covers a broad spectrum in the two year period," said Chief Executive Officer of CAHM, Steven Bradie-Miles.

"Students who graduate from CAHM do not necessarily have to work in a hotel, they can seek employment with airlines, cruise ships, resorts even careers related to events and functions - basically anything in the field of hospitality.

They are not pigeon holed into becoming a manager in a hotel."

"Job prospects have been fantastic for the graduating batch," said President, SLIIT and CAHM Director, Professor Lalith Gamage.

"About 90 percent of the graduates are now placed in exciting roles in industry. Some have even obtained job opportunities from well-known hotel chains and the academy is now receiving placement offers from organisations in the Maldives, India and Dubai," he said.
