Attitude Hotels has joined forces with EHL Group (formerly Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne), the world’s leading hotel management school. The partnership will form EHL’s Attitude Academy VET, a new vocational education and training (VET) opportunity in Mauritius, launching on 18 March 2024. Students will be offered three courses: culinary, food service or hotel housekeeping department.
Affordable, world-class courses
This will be the first vocational education and training center opened by EHL Center in Mauritius. Training will be based on the Swiss Competency Framework, considered one of the best education models in the world. Students will develop technical knowledge, interpersonal relationships and self-development through on-campus study and internships. They will graduate with experience managing real-world operations and teams.
This new partnership will enable Attitude Hotels to create scalable, affordable and engaging learning courses for people interested in working in the hospitality industry. These ready-to-use courses are delivered using EHL’s curriculum, videos and presentations to provide graduates with high quality training and employability skills. Studies are based on flexible working arrangements and students’ work remuneration and educational expenses will be subsidized by Attitude Hotels. Students must complete three certificates to earn a professional diploma, which requires 18 months of alternating courses and internships.
Inspiring future generations
Attitude and EHL Group share the same values and vision for the future of the hospitality industry. When considering partnerships with hotel brands, our key criteria revolve around shared values and vision, particularly in the areas of experiential learning, lifelong education and enriching local communities and the wider hospitality industry. We seek collaborators who not only embrace these ideals but also work to innovate at the intersection of education and operations. We firmly believe that Attitude Hotels embodies these principles, creating a synergistic relationship that benefits all parties involved. Jens-Henning Peters, Head of Vocational Education and Training, EHL
The partnership will enable local communities to access formal, world-class education without leaving Mauritius or interrupting employment. By training current and future generations of employees in operational excellence, Attitude Hotels will ensure guests have a great holiday experience. Attitude employees, as well as the wider community, enjoy world-class career opportunities available to all, providing them with the skills and knowledge to become successful hospitality professionals.
Today, we have launched a promising cooperation with EHL. We are very proud that EHL has chosen to partner with Attitude to establish a base in the Indian Ocean. We know that our company’s success depends primarily on our employees, whom we call family members. That’s why we integrated training centers. Our future depends on it. We are committed to investing in the development of future talent and integrating the knowledge of our existing teams. We look forward to training a new generation of employees who will become proud ambassadors of the Attitude Group and our values. This partnership is also of strategic importance as we expand our activities in Africa. We firmly believe that the key to our success on the continent lies in our ability to develop and support local talent. Vincent Desvaux de Marigny, CEO, Attitude Hotels Group
A novel educational method
Our courses are gaining tremendous momentum across geographies, including Europe, the Middle East, India, and even unique locations like Bhutan. In these fields, we observe a significant trend where students frequently receive job offers during their internship. Not only does this enable them to support their studies financially, it also introduces them to a novel approach to education and secures employment in the hospitality industry. This distinction sets EHL’s vocational education and training apart from other entry-level professional training in the field. Jens-Henning Peters, Head of Vocational Education and Training, EHL
