The Failte Ireland Trainee Management Development Programme has been elevated to Degree status and will now be delivered by Tralee IT.
The announcement was made yesterday by Sean O'Malley, manager of Education Operations at Failte Ireland during a graduation ceremony for 18 trainee managers.
One of the students, Matti Reuter, from Germany, trained at the Clarion Hotel in Sligo, was awarded ‘Graduate of the Year 2011’ for his academic achievements and his contribution to the hotel over the past three years.
The programme provides an ideal platform for people who want to kick start their career within tourism and is a recognised distance education route to training as a hotel manager. Students complete three years of rigorous on-the-job training and academic studies in Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) whilst employed in a hotel. The programme is a collaboration between Fáilte Ireland, the Irish Hospitality Institute (IHI), the Irish Hotel Federation (IHF) and Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT).
