Executive Masters in Global Hospitality Leadership Launched

In anticipation of the learning needs of senior hospitality industry executives, and to enhance their understanding of the dynamic global environment, the SHTM recently launched the Executive Masters (EM) in Global Hospitality Leadership, a pioneering graduate programme designed to meet the needs of mature and seasoned executives in their pursuit of global leadership in the ever evolving hospitality business.

Geared towards high-level executives with at least 10 years of experience at the management level, the EM programme will enhance leadership skills, advance decision-making capabilities, sharpen problem solving and research competencies and update industry knowledge. Central to the programme is an international focus that recognises the importance of hospitality in the Asia-Pacific region. Its participant-centred teaching and learning methods and flexible delivery pattern will enable industry executives to set their own pace in completing subjects and developing their skills in this fast-changing world.

The first cohort of students comprises seasoned hospitality executives who bring with them a wealth of industry experience and knowledge. They see learning as a way to recharge their minds with knowledge and their hearts with passion. As networking is another important aspect in the EM programme, students will find that they are offered rare opportunities to come together and bond. For these industry elites, the programme is serving as an excellent platform for in-depth discussions of the issues that are most relevant to their careers.

Indeed, increasing competitiveness within the hospitality industry is pushing firms to seek ever more adaptable senior executives who can enhance the competitive advantages of their organisations. The EM programme offered by the SHTM is a stepping stone to the top tiers of this exciting industry!
