THE TEACHING CONCEPT HAS ITS ROOTS IN REALITIES OF THE PROFESSION

Training operational managers and senior executives in the international hospitality industry, who are able to work in a competitive and cosmopolitan environment is based on business studies: marketing, human resources, administration and finance. But that’s not all! Vatel believes that a balanced education consists not only of theoretical but practical application as well. This teaching principle is one of the reasons why a Vatel degree is so highly valued on the job market. In regards to practical application, it comprises of the following:

Hands-on training in the application infra-structures, fully integrated into the Vatel schools. The application hotels, restaurants and catering to real customers, sum up the operational training venues.
First hand managerial experience i.e. senior students manage the junior students.
Professionals recognized in their field participate in teaching.
Progressive building of a career path for each student.

INITIATION TO MANAGEMENT ALWAYS INCLUDES THEORY AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

The Vatel curriculum, a 3 year program, builds momentum for students in management.

BACHELOR YEAR 1: Students are introduced to marketing, human resources, administration and professional culture, and become introduced to catering, culinary production techniques, banquet constraints, unexpected events in reception or seminars, while undergoing studies.

BACHELOR YEAR 2: While continuing to enhance theoretical knowledge with the introduction of courses such as Business Law and Tourism Economics, students are introduced to management. During their practical training, they manage 1styear students, while being managed by 3rd year students. They gain self-confidence while becoming aware of the hierarchy in a business.

BACHELOR YEAR 3: Students, who have by now acquired legal, economic and linguistic capacities, are ready to manage teams at school. In this year, they develop their analytical capabilities, recall the knowledge accumulated so far, devise strategies and take decisions.

INTERNSHIPS CONSOLIDATE LEARNING

Internships allow them to apply their expertise and know-how, to have a true experience of working as part of a team, and to try and test the environment they will be working in, in the future. Professional immersion equals solid work experience, even before students enter the workforce.
