With the aim of providing practical experience regarding the modern importance of the tourism and hotel industry in the world of work, the available employment opportunities, and guiding the students towards these fields, an opportunity was recently granted for the Grade 11 students of B/HO/Ambalangoda Siripathi Vidyalaya to visit the Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & Hotel Management (SLITHM).
About 21 Grade 11 students from the school participated in this program. Members of the school’s academic staff, along with the office’s Skills Development Officer and Human Resource Development Officer, also took part.
Throughout the day, SLITHM arranged for the students to observe various departments related to the functioning of a star-class hotel, and provided an overall briefing on its operations. The Assistant Director (Marketing) of the institution offered the necessary support for this event.
The program was organized by the Office Skills Development Officer, Ms. M. Champika Padma Kanthi, and the Human Resource Development Officer, Ms. A. Nandani Athukorala, under the guidance and supervision of the Divisional Secretary.
