Career in the hospitality industry
Studying at Swiss universities of hospitality and other schools of hotel, tourism and restaurant business is quite a serious investment. Investing in education abroad, parents and students want to get certain guarantees that the profession that a student will receive at a foreign university will be in demand, will provide him with a dynamic career and a decent salary. Despite the fact that the hospitality industry is in second place in the world in terms of development dynamics, students still doubt career prospects, limiting this direction to work in a hotel or restaurant.
A career in the hospitality industry requires full dedication and investment of your time. Very often, we, consultants in the field of study abroad, are faced with the fact that students do not understand that the path to the position of hotel manager is quite long. It starts from the lowest positions.
And so, what does a student need for a successful career in the hospitality industry?
First of all, it should be noted that positions in the hospitality industry are divided into three main levels:
Entry Level Positions
Middle Management Positions
Executive Level Positions

First of all, the student needs to get a higher education in the field of hotel management and work skills in the hospitality industry through professional internships, which are a mandatory and integral part of the curriculum. Graduates of the university, after graduation, can apply for entry level positions.
While working at the initial level positions, young professionals must demonstrate professional competencies, potential for further growth and a desire to develop in the industry. During the internship, university graduates should actively take on additional responsibility to show their interest and begin to shape their future professional career in accordance with their interests and abilities.
Only after a fairly significant period of time, young professionals can apply for the positions of middle managers and subsequently occupy managerial positions at the highest level.
The period of work (number of years) at each stage of professional development depends primarily on the type of business in which the specialist works, his functional responsibilities, opportunities and potential of the market.
After graduation, specialists can choose to work in one of the following areas of hospitality:
* Hotels: hotel chains, boutique hotels, independent hotels, resorts and corporate headquarters
* Travel and tourism: tourist offices, travel agencies, travel operators, railway and airline companies, spa and wellness centers
- Food and Beverages (Food & Beverage): restaurants, bars, distribution companies
* Event management, entertainment industry: golf clubs, theme parks, nightclubs, conference centers, casinos, concert halls, event agencies.
* Other positions: HR, sales, marketing, finance, etc.
