Hospitality looks to skill shortages
The Association of Australian Hotel Schools and the Australian Hotel Association have entered into a memorandum of understanding to facilitate the employment of graduates from select tertiary education providers to AHA members.
This will give AHA members direct access to graduates from elite hotel management education providers across the country.
The AAHS is made up of eight private hotel schools1 located in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. These colleges are all respected education leaders in their specialist fields and produce graduates with between six months and two years practical on the job training. The latest Clarius Skill Indicator2 shows a combined shortage of nearly 5,00 skilled managers in hospitality, retail, advertising and sales sectors. The new partnership between AAHS and the AHA will help to address this shortage by streamlining the graduate employment process and providing direct access to skilled workers. William Blue College of Hospitality Management, an industry leaderin specialist areas such as hospitality, tourism and event management and commercial cookery, is just one of the colleges that will be a key lifeline to prestigious AHA members in Sydney that are suffering from a scarcity of highly skilled managers.
