A golden opportunity
to work in a glamorous industry
Many chefs are now
becoming celebrities because of their hard work and passion for the
profession. Chefs appear on television, cookery shows and generate
a number of devoted fans and supporters. Many chefs own or work in
high-quality upscale restaurants and are written about at great
length in prestigious newspapers and magazines. Other chefs enjoy
fame by working along with Hollywood and Bollywood celebrities and
famous people.
In addition to the
excellent prospects for advancement, the culinary profession offers
you a flexible working environment, and a job with a good future.
Working in the hospitality industry or becoming a chef gives you
plenty of opportunities to exhibit your talent and creativity.
The entrepreneurial
path
After having served in
the industry for a couple of years and gaining enough experience,
one can even start up one’s own business and become an
entrepreneur. There are plenty of examples where people have
achieved great success by launching business ventures like hotels,
restaurants and the like.
In 2010, India saw over
50 lakh foreign tourists and 40 crore domestic tourists. The
tourism industry employs over two crore people in India.
The increasing number
of tourists has resulted in an expansion in the hospitality sector.
With an upcoming large number of leading international hotel
brands, there has been a tremendous increase in demand for
hospitality professionals in all areas. Some of the big brands
entering India are Hyatt, Hilton, Marriot, Kempinski and Accor.
There are now 40
international brands operating in India and new players are still
joining. Each brand in turn is building chain operations across
India. The biggest boom has been in the Quick Service Restaurant
segment like MacDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut and Domino’s to name a
few. Specialty restaurants have also seen a growth as the demand
for specialty food like Italian, Mexican and Thai cuisine is
increasing.
There is a direct
correlation between the booming tourism and hospitality industry
and demand for good talented people. This is a service-based
industry, which wants young and energetic individuals, with
creativity, passion, ambition and knowledge. In the future,
students would be seeing a phenomenal growth. Now being part of
this industry has become a global career choice for many. The pay
scale offered by the industry is at par with the IT and engineering
sector.
“An estimated one lakh
career oriented professional jobs are to be filled in the current
year. The demand will further increase to two lakh per year by
2015.”
Our institute was
established in 1999 and since its inception it has trained more
than 700 students. Most of our students are working in leading 5
star hotel chains, in different parts of the world, like U.K, U.S.A,
Australia, Canada, Singapore and Thailand among others.
Despite the numerous
opportunities available in the hospitality industry, the number of
students pursuing a course in the field of hospitality is low due
to ignorance of the job opportunities in this sector, which is
still increasing. We would like to enlighten you by putting forth
the career prospects that this course has to offer. We are pleased
to inform you that we even offer scholarships to deserving
candidates. The application for scholarship can be obtained from
the admission office of our college. Students in need of
scholarship may submit the forms duly signed and attested by the
principal or headmaster of their school.
