LIPA CITY – De La Salle Lipa, through its Hotel and Restaurant Management Department, will send five HRM students to Nantucket Island, Massachusets, USA for a five-month on-the-job training program in hospitality management.
Giovanni Arufo, Muller Capacio, Shiarilou Diomampo, Catherine Martinez and Marisol Mantuano – all incoming senior HRM students – will be heading off to the Veranda House Hotel, a twenty-five room hotel offering spectacular vistas of Nantucket Harbor, as part of the International Practicum Training Program for graduating students of the HRM Department.
The five HRM students are not the first to go abroad under the International Practicum Training Program. Beginning school year 2000, the HRM Department has sent students to prestigious hotels in Singapore that includes the Amara Hotel Singapore, Hotel Inter-Continental Singapore, The Penny Black Pte. Ltd., Berjaya Hotel Duxton, De Paolo Restorante-Singapore, Gateway Hotel Singapore and Les Amis Restaurant, among others. Even Bb. Pilipinas-International 2002 Titlist, and De La Salle Lipa alumnus, Ms. Kristine Alzar, was among the batch of students in school year 2001 who went to Singapore for the required OJT training. However, this year, the OJT program of the department changed venue and widened its exposure in international hospitality management with a debut at working in the Veranda House at Massachusets, USA.
In collaboration with the Institute for International Education, the school sees that the students are US-bound under the Exchange Visitor Program. As Exchange Visitor Trainees, the students will undertake a training program in hospitality management through observation, research and writing assignments aimed at providing them with substantial expertise and exposure in the work of historic hotels and restaurants in the US.
The five HRM students will be staying and undergoing training at the Veranda House from May to October 2003. The said establishment provides for the studentsÂ’ living expenses, health and accident insurance and stipend during their stay in the US.
