SPECIAL ISSUE – TOURISM EDUCATION: A benchmark for boosting employment in tourism

Shortly before the start of the new academic year, the focus of interest is once again on Tourism Education, promoting it as the most ideal choice for many young people who wish to work in a competitive industry with remarkable prospects and challenges. In a market that in recent years has been faced with a very serious problem, the lack of qualified and skilled human resources, Tourism Education is becoming a key factor in the development of this globally important sector.

A problem that is reflected in the number of 80,000 job vacancies in the tourism sector, recorded at the beginning of this year’s summer season.

A topical issue, which according to executives of the private tourism education market, is also an excellent opportunity for graduates of private schools and colleges of tourism studies.

With options varying, private schools and colleges of tourism studies seem to be the safe bet, offering their graduates the opportunity to test their potential in a globalised market.

“MONEY & TOURISM”, as every year just before the study starts, presents the best proposals in the private tourism education market.

The role of tourism education is undoubtedly of primary importance in the development of Greek tourism, since it is generally accepted that the quality of the tourism product provided is absolutely linked to the quality of the tourism education we provide.

It is even more important in the post-pandemic era, where tens of thousands of jobs in tourism remain alone, both at national level and in Europe in general.

Private schools and colleges of tourism education are called upon to play a leading role in a broad employment sector, which is now more in need than ever of qualified staff and highly skilled professionals.


The profile of private schools of tourism studies

In their entirety, private schools and colleges offer modern undergraduate and postgraduate programs and degrees in a wide field, covering the educational needs that exist in the tourism industry in our country and creating, at the same time, the generation of tomorrow, which will staff businesses in the broad sector of Tourism and Hotel, in an international labor market.

In collaboration with distinguished state universities in Europe and America, in addition to the high level of knowledge they provide, they enable their graduates to obtain equivalent degrees, recognizable in the international professional field.

Among their advantages is the fact that they offer their students internship opportunities, often in real conditions, beyond scientific knowledge, but also their interconnection with the labor market, through the professional career offices that operate. The latter contributes significantly to the professional rehabilitation of their graduates, enabling them to embark on a brilliant professional career.

From all this, it follows that private schools and colleges of tourism education are the most ideal choice for young people who wish to become active in the multidimensional tourism-hotel industry.
