Twenty-seven Hospitality and Restaurant Services (HRS) students of STI Naga underwent a two-day and one-night Stay and Learn Session at one of Naga City’s premiere hotel, The Regent Hotel.
Fresh from their Final Examination last Saturday, the HRS students eagerly attended the learning program at Regent Hotel which started morning of Sunday and culminated in the afternoon of the following day. This program is part of the continuing thrust of STI Naga in providing their students with a well-rounded learning approach through real life immersion and first hand industry experience.
The Learn and Stay Program focused on giving the students an actual hands-on experience on the business process of the different facets of a hotel. Series of lectures and on-the-spot trainings on Front Office Services, Housekeeping, and Night Shift Hotel Operation are among the highlights of the program.
A pre-assessment test for Housekeeping and Front Office Services were also administered by the hotel personnel’s to provide students better understanding and control of their comprehension on hospitality services. This pre-assessment exercise will be of great value to the students when they take the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) National Certification (NC) exam this year.
To have a better feel of the hotel operation both as a learning student and as a guest, the students were also treated to feast on sumptuous delicacies and cuisine prepared by the resident chef of the hotel. To add more excitement to the experience, students also got the chance to spend the entire night at the luxurious hotel suite.
With the success of the program, HRS students are again anticipating another industry immersion activity that would probably bring them to the heart of hospitality business. An educational trip to Manila next year is being considered by their instructor to give them a better appreciation and understanding of the industry. An industry they would be running in the future.
