Inti Universal Holdings and the Malaysian
Association of Hotels Training and Education Centre (MAHTEC) signed an MoU
yesterday, which will see MAHTEC give INTI's hospitality graduates industry
certification.
Effective immediately, the MAHTEC certificate
is an additional award INTI students will receive upon graduation. As an award given by the industry, the
certificate is set to strengthen graduate employability, said Rohit Sharma,
INTI’s chief operating officer.
He added: “This agreement with MAHTEC is the
first step of many that we will take to elevate the standards of INTI’s
hospitality programmes and raise the bar for hospitality education, training
and development. It will lead to a greatly enhanced learning experience for
students and (equip them with) work skills that will prepare them for a career
with the best hospitality establishments in Malaysia and abroad.”
Students of hotel management or culinary arts
will receive the MAHTEC certificate in addition to their diplomas upon
graduation. INTI's Diploma in Hotel Management programme is affiliated with
Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, while its Diploma in
Culinary Arts course is affiliated with Kendall College.
Reginald
T Pereira, COO, MAHTEC, added that MAHTEC would also use INTI campuses in Sabah
and Penang to offer short hospitality-related programmes for professionals in
the industry.
