PORTSMOUTH, N.H. | Newmarket International, Inc., the leader insales and catering solutionsfor the hospitality industry, today announced a new program to bring its leading sales and catering solution, Delphi®, to universities at no cost. The Delphi in the Classroom program (www.delphiintheclassroom.com) gives students the skills and experience they need to compete in today's workforce. By partnering with educational institutions which offer hospitality programs, Newmarket is helping to build tomorrow's industry leaders.

"Newmarket is offering a tremendous program. This is a best of both worlds situation for those of us in education because we don't have to buy, maintain, or update the system however, we are offering our students exposure to a product used by the major hotel chains and have the support of such a significant software vendor. Now, our students receive the training as defined by the vendor, just as they would in a job. It's a win-win as far as I can see,"stated Carolyn U. Lambert, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Hospitality Management, The Pennsylvania State University.

Delphi is the leading sales and catering application used by over 4,000 properties worldwide. Knowledge of Delphi will help give students an edge when applying for a job and marketable skills as they enter the workforce. The Delphi in the Classroom program gives access to premier eLearning courses including Newmarket's New Employee and Power BEO (Banquet Event Order)eLearning courses. This provides a hands-on look at the application. Additionally, it's a free offering for the universities and students pay a minimal fee to access and take the courses. Through the program, training on Delphi becomes a seamless part of a school's curriculum and students can access the course online from anywhere.

"We have been collaborating with leading hospitality programs for many years. The new Delphi in the Classroom program was designed from that experience. Students need an easy way to gain the skills that prepare them to enter the hospitality workforce. By learning Delphi in school, they achieve greater productivity faster in the real-world, which saves our traditional customers time and money,"said Jay Krupp, Director of Educational Development, Newmarket International, Inc.
