Since its inception, Hotel ICON, the SHTM's teaching and research hotel, has spearheaded the School's efforts to further develop the hospitality sector. Central to the SHTM's award-winning educational model, the hotel is cultivating an outstanding new generation of hoteliers.
A key part of this process is the Elite Management Programme, in which the hotel provides sector-focused, on-the-job learning opportunities to the best and most
promising of the School's Year 2 Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Hotel Management students. On 17 May 2022, a ceremony was hosted to welcome this year's talented recruits, Ms Winnie Chan, Ms Tiffany Cheung, Ms Kyla Huang and Ms Cindy Yin, who began the first phase of their full-time training in June.
This unique internship programme offers students the opportunity to benefit from Hotel ICON's transparent operations and gain a holistic understanding of the industry by participating in
the day-to-day running of various departments in a real-world hotel environment. One of the industry's most integrated and intensive training initiatives, this 11-month programme gives outstanding students the career-defining opportunity to shadow top managers at Hotel ICON. Equipped with a strong skill set and the wisdom that comes with hands-on experience, graduates are perfectly positioned to become hospitality leaders in Hong Kong and beyond.
The SHTM is committed to raising the
standards for hospitality training. This testifies to the SHTM and Hotel ICON's dedication to strengthening Asia's reputation for excellence in the hospitality and tourism industry.
