Our partners in the industry
We would not be where we are today, if we didn't have our network and partners in the industry. Thanks to them, we are able to offer our students a variety of insights into our beautiful hospitality industry, whether that is via an internship, a challening project or an inspiring guest lecture. We are grateful to every single one of them, and the collaborations in many ways. We look forward to many more years of working together and innovating the industry.
