InterContinental Hotels Group has launched the IHG Academy in two new locations in China.
Jinan, Shandong Province and Shunde, Guangdong Province are home to the two respective IHG Academies. First launched in Shanghai in June 2006, and expanded to include the Chongqing Campus in February 2007, the IHG Academy offers a series of specially-developed learning programs aimed at addressing the demand for trained talent in the fast-growing hotel industry. These two new hospitality education and training centers extend the scope of IHG's hospitality training in China, giving IHG Academy the ability to train and nurture a larger talent pool across various parts of China.
The students will get their best possible start in the industry from the IHG Academy's three-year Advanced Certification program, which covers various tourism and hotel industry subjects. All programs combine theoretical sessions by university lecturers, industry lectures given by executives from IHG, and internship exposure at hotels under the IHG portfolio.
Along with the two-year Advanced Certification program, the IHG Academy will also offer a series of shorter, four to eight-week certification programs designed to enhance skills in the front office, housekeeping or food and beverage functions. This diversity of programs allows students, and employers, to train for the specific needs they must fulfill, regardless of their current placement, giving them greater options and better career prospects within the hospitality industry.
To ensure the highest quality education, the centers are affiliated with the top hospitality institutions in their respective regions: Shandong College of Tourism and Hospitality in Jinan and Shunde Polytechnic in Guangzhou. These schools provide the professional support that the IHG Academy requires, along with national and international certification for graduates.
IHG first set up a talent training school in Shanghai in 2006. IHG has spent the past 23 years developing its hotel network in China. Today, the company has 71 hotels spread across four brands, and is on track to meeting its goal of having 125 hotels opened by 2008.
