Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management, the dedicated educational initiative of Emaar Education focused on the hospitality and leisure sector, is offering a broad spectrum of career opportunities for UAE youngsters. In addition to potential careers within the diverse and fast-growing portfolio of Emaar Hospitality Group, the organisation also offers students in Dubai the advantage of transferring their skills and qualifications to other countries.
Providing specialized education in the hospitality sector for young senior secondary students as well as offering dedicated corporate training, Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management is setting new benchmarks in vocational education in Dubai.
Mr Boon Yew Ng, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Education, said the objective of Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management has been to help nurture a new generation of hospitality professionals through world-class training in Dubai. “The hospitality and leisure industry is one of the backbones of Dubai’s economy. With more than 40 million visitors passing through the Dubai International Airport this year, and Dubai’s hotel room inventory to grow 40 percent over 2008 to 54,000 rooms next year, the potential for hospitality related careers here is growing.”
He said: “It is important therefore to drive the growth of professionals who understand the market through hands-on training, which the Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management assures. Our emphasis is on providing practical training through site visits, internships with hotels and participating in industry events.”
Among potential career opportunities for Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management students are those with Emaar Hospitality Group
projects including the extensive portfolio of The Address Hotels + Resorts, a prestigious portfolio of five star premium hotels and resorts.
Another key differential of Raffles Campus School of Hospitality Management is the advantage it offers for students in Dubai to transfer their education, if need be, to home countries such as Australia, Vietnam, India and Singapore through the option of multi-campus training. This is facilitated through the organisation’s own network of hospitality schools or strong industry partnerships.
Raffles Campus has partnered with Australia’s Box Hill Institute, a leading Technical and Further Education (TAFE) provider, in offering the range of hospitality management programmes including full- and part-time courses, as well as certificate to advanced diplomas. Through the programmes, students are trained in industry-specific and job-ready skills through a hands-on practical training approach. All qualifications are awarded by Box Hill Institute.
Raffles Campus is also offering the BTEC National Diploma and Higher Diploma programmes offered by Edexcel, the UK’s largest awarding body offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning in the UK and internationally.
A recipient of the ISO 9001:2008 by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), Raffles Campus School of Hospitality offers training in Front Office, Housekeeping, Food and Beverages (bar counter and restaurant setting) and Kitchen Facilities. For corporates, the institute offers short-term training courses in customer service, team building and housekeeping, among other specialised courses.
Campus facilities include a training restaurant, kitchen, computer labs, sports facilities and an extensive library. The school is located in Umm Sequim 1.
