What is the employment prospect of hotel management major?

Hotel management has always been a hot major, and many students will choose to study this major abroad. What is the employment prospect of hotel management major? Let me take a look with you!

1. What do you learn about wine management abroad?

Reading statements to solve financial problems and mastering 8% knowledge outside textbooks

Lele, who once worked in Sofitel Guangzhou and graduated from the master's program of hotel management in VATEL, France, said that many teachers in the school are the management of the hotel industry. For example, one teacher is the owner of two restaurants, and some teachers have opened their own hotels. These teachers know what students should learn, so the course content of hotel management is combined with practice. For example, when students study hotel accounting and financial analysis, teachers will give students homework with statements from different companies. Students should analyze which part of the company has problems according to the statements, and then propose solutions. Teachers will make detailed analysis with students to help students learn to read financial statements from practice and solve the company's financial problems.

However, the students who graduated from the English teaching course of hotel management major in VATEL, France, and now work in Shangri-La Hotel Group, said that in French classroom learning, teachers like to inspire students to ask questions and discuss actively. When I first entered the school, the teacher knew that many China students would not ask questions on their own initiative, so they would ask each student to ask a question ten minutes after each class. The student said that such a subtle habit directly helps him to actively think in his work and actively maximize his work efficiency, rather than just working hard.

At the same time, the students introduced that the examination of French alcohol control subjects also pays attention to the extension of knowledge, so that students will not be limited to classroom handouts, but will learn knowledge from life and textbooks. For example, the exam topic is "How many wineries are there in Bordeaux". Students should not only write down clearly which wineries are there, but also write down which wines are produced in each winery, what grapes are used, what are the differences in winemaking methods, which family is the owner of the winery, which countries the wine products may be exported to, and so on. Often, only 2% of this knowledge comes from textbooks, 6% from teachers' dictation, and the remaining 2% needs students to learn in life.

2. The practice of studying wine management abroad is "upgraded" year by year.

From grade one to grade three, from waiter to supervisor of wine management intern.

In addition to classroom study, Swiss schools will also provide students with rich opportunities for on-campus practice. For example, HTMI College itself is transformed from two hotels, and two restaurants and a cafe on campus are managed by students: first-year students do some simple waiter work. In daily life, students will organize some external activities in the school cafeteria. Mona has participated in the "International Night" planned by students, and invited ambassadors from various countries and local celebrities to participate in the exchange. Also tried to simulate the wedding scene, wedding preparation, reception, service and so on. These practices are actual combat. Students need to sum up the effectiveness of the activities, discuss how to manage them better, and directly use the income from the operation to maintain the operation of restaurants and cafes, and be responsible for their own profits and losses.

"In addition to on-campus internship, the school will also arrange for us to practice in famous hotels in various countries, which is equivalent to studying at school for half a year and practicing outside the school for half a year." According to the students, she worked as an intern in the Baugh City Hotel in Savoy, Switzerland, and worked as a waiter in the banquet department for six months. She participated in activities such as the European chess competition and the exchange meeting of famous perfume brands, and learned practical skills such as banquet management and event planning. Now she is a sophomore, and she is working as an intern at Ruisili Hotel in Xi 'an, China. She will work as an intern in the catering department and housekeeping department of the hotel for 1.5 months and in the front office for 3 months. "I like the front office, so I want to practice there for a long time. I hope that I can accumulate more experience in wine management at home and abroad before graduation, and then return to China to work, and gradually become a manager and director from the head of the front office of the hotel. "

Another student introduced that the school usually assigns internship positions in related hotels according to the internship volunteers, French proficiency and hotel management ability reported by students. "For the sake of students' safety, you must stay in France in the first year of internship and go abroad for internship in the second year." This student has been assigned to the Park inn Hotel in Nice, France since his freshman year. The paid internship salary is 4 euros/month (after tax), including food and accommodation. In the second year, I became the intern supervisor of Park inn Hotel, responsible for managing other students who participated in the internship. In the third year, considering that she still wanted to return to China for development in the future, Wenyu chose to practice at the front desk of Hilton Hotel (Chongqing, China). "I want to open my own hotel before I am 35 years old, so I want to learn the work of different hotel departments so as to be familiar with the operation of the whole hotel." Students suggest that if they want to stay and work in overseas countries, they should learn more about local tax policies, financial systems and cultural differences, learn how local people do business, and truly integrate into the local hotel industry.

According to the admissions officer of HIM Montreux Hotel Management College in Switzerland, students majoring in hotel management will be given off-campus internship opportunities, and the school will introduce the internship precautions to students in advance, helping more than 9% of them to practice according to their internship wishes. The school has successfully recommended sophomores to practice in the Food and Beverage Department of the United Nations Headquarters, receiving heads of state from various countries, and enriching students' experience in high-end service, which will help them to work in high-end hotels in the future.

3. 9% of the new hotel employees have returned overseas.

Hotel recruiters value the experience of studying abroad, and they can even move to the luxury industry.

Every year, the school invites many recruiters from the hotel headquarters to come to the school for recruitment. "Dubai, Barcelona, London ... especially where tourism is developing rapidly, local hotels are in great need of talents".

In Shangri-La Hotel Group, he found that 9% of the new hotel employees he met had returnee background. When he interviewed Shangri-La himself, the recruiter paid more attention to his statement of studying abroad, his career planning for the future hotel industry and his practical experience in the wine management industry. At the same time, students should be willing to bear hardships, be prepared for many years, and put their work mentality in order to work better in the hotel industry. In addition, Wen Yu introduced that wine management graduates are not limited to the hotel industry, and students can work in other industries according to their own needs. The student said that 6% of his classmates entered other fields such as banking and luxury goods.

4, the same study of wine management, the focus varies from school to school

Students need to accurately set the school and set the direction of further study according to the career plan

Students who have studied in the Swiss master's program of hotel management and now work in the Royal Mirage Hotel in Dubai remind that the course of hotel management is very tight, and the course study and internship arrangements are very tight. It is best for students to make specific plans for their study direction and career plan before applying, and refine the goals of each time period.

Before applying, students should clearly know the teaching emphasis of different hotel management schools. Take Switzerland as an example. Lorette Education Group has Glion Hotel Management College and Renos International Hotel Management College. If students choose Renos, their teaching focuses on hotel operation and business management, while Glion is broader, involving leisure industry management, sports management and so on. Students should be clear about their career direction before making a choice. Generally speaking, students with an IELTS score of 5 and a usual score of 75 can apply for an undergraduate course in Swiss hotel management; And IELTS 6 points, usually 75 points can apply for master's courses.
