NCHMCT joins hands with LHC to bring the hospitality education to an internationally acceptable quality verge.
The National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology has signed an agreement on February 11, 2014, with the Lausanne Hospitality Consulting SA (LHC), which is a division of world oldest and top ranked Hospitality school- Ecole htelire de Lausanne, Switzerland. Similar agreements signed between MIT and IIM-Calcutta in 1961, and the IITs with the top technology institutes of the world have made them world-class institutes.
This agreement is expected to put hospitality education in the country on a new quality crest.
The agreement will broadly a) review the existing curriculum, identify knowledge and skill gaps specific to the requirement of the market and recommend new inputs
b) Provide faculty development on the new inputs including inculcating global standards of academic delivery; and
c) Conduct regular academic audits to evaluate implementation process of LHC recommendations
It is foreboded that the cooperation will help students acquire better skills and greater employability. More importantly, it will bring Indian hospitality education to an internationally acceptable quality threshold.
