The dynamic world of hospitality demands more than theoretical knowledge; it requires practical expertise, attention to detail, and hands-on experience. At Mont Rose College, we are deeply committed to preparing the next generation of industry leaders, ensuring our students graduate with qualifications and invaluable real-world skills.
Our recent Hospitality Practical Workshop for HND students epitomised this commitment. Under the expert guidance of our dedicated lecturers, Sewedo Mesewaku, Pamela Piliime, and Frank Adejei, students gained unparalleled experience in the nuances of hospitality management.
Behind the Workshop
Held at Mont Rose House, this intensive two-day workshop was meticulously designed to immerse our HND Hospitality students in practical, real-life scenarios. From the art of customer service to the intricacies of fine dining, students explored the essential aspects of hospitality operations under professional supervision. Attendees were guided through everything from table set-ups and wine glass placements to guest communication strategies, enabling them to build confidence and practical expertise.
Practical Learning at Its Best
Here’s what made the workshop a truly impactful experience for our budding hospitality professionals:
1.Customer Service Mastery
Students learned the foundations of excellent customer service. By role-playing real-world scenarios, they developed the interpersonal skills necessary to delight guests in every aspect of their visit.
2.Fine Dining Expertise
The workshop included sessions dedicated to understanding fine dining, from menu curation and food presentation to restaurant ambience. Students gained hands-on experience in creating unforgettable dining experiences.
3.Detailed Event Planning Know-How
Planning and managing events is pivotal in hospitality management. Students participated in simulated events, practising everything from table layout strategy to logistical coordination.
4.Problem-solving in Real-Time
To prepare for the unpredictability of the hospitality industry, participants were presented with on-the-spot challenges common in real-life operations. This equipped them to think quickly and remain composed under pressure.
