Junior Program for Future Hospitality Leaders

The program devised for the aspiring hospitality students, or those still wondering if hospitality management is made for them, offers a hands-on look into the hospitality business and a chance to explore the latest trends in luxury hospitality and culinary arts. The highly experienced faculty members will introduce the concepts of hospitality service excellence and restaurant management, for a first look at some of the main business concepts. As is customary at EHL, students will have the opportunity to meet people from around the world and sharpen their cultural awareness, creating friendships based on shared values and interests.
