More than 30 alumni were welcomed back to IHTTI from the 11th to the 13th of May. Graduates spend two perfect days re-living their student life, reuniting with their fellow graduates and mingling with current students.
Friday evening, alumni and students enjoyed a Swiss banquet accompanied by local wines and it was a pleasure to see them networking and sharing their experiences. The official alumni meeting on Saturday was followed by sightseeing and a gala dinner at the beautiful Hotel Peyrou.
It was a fantastic few days with everyone already looking forward to their next opportunity to meet!
Exciting news has just been announced by Jaco Von Wielligh, Academic Dean at IHTTI, the confirmation of a partnership with “LesConcierges”. “Concierge services and management of VIP’s forms a part of the new second year programme and students will have the opportunity to learn from a person who has first-hand experience in the industry. ‘LesConcierges’ will be sending a representative who will be lecturing over a two-week period. It is an exciting development for IHTTI and there is more to come.”
In recognition of the quality of the institution and programmes offered, the Swiss quality accreditation body eduQua has awarded full certification to IHTTI. After many months of review, IHTTI is proud to have achieved this status.
Corum watches based in La Chaux-de-Fonds had reason to call on students from IHTTI for a recent visit from some important clients from China.
With more than 50 companies present over 2 days, the IRF was a fantastic opportunity for IHTTI Students to build their future careers.
Through a series of presentations, workshops and information booths, students were introduced to the endless career opportunities that exist for hospitality graduates. There was also time for interviews and networking and students took the opportunity to meet and discuss their future with the recruiters on hand.
