In a collaborative effort with Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) and the globally recognised Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH), Trust Academy students recently took part in a series of intensive practical sessions that brought classroom learning to life.
The sessions exposed students to the full spectrum of hospitality operations, including:
-
Table and menu setup
-
Food preparation and presentation
-
Guest welcoming and customer care
-
Professional service delivery
By rotating through these roles, students developed not only technical skills but also teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership abilities that are essential for thriving in today’s tourism and hospitality industry.
Practical Learning That Builds Careers
These workshops form part of the Academy’s Diploma in Applied Tourism and Hospitality programme - a qualification designed to blend academic knowledge with real-world practice. The programme equips graduates with strong foundations in:
-
Business management
-
Service excellence
-
Supervisory and leadership skills
This combination ensures that students leave the Academy industry-ready and confident to take on roles in hotels, resorts, restaurants, and tourism enterprises both locally and internationally.
Leadership and Student Reflections
Speaking at the event, Mr. Chitunhu, Head of the Business School, commended students and faculty for their dedication:
"Keep practicing and take it very seriously. Continue arranging these kinds of practical learning days. It is this hands-on exposure that will set you apart in the job market."
Students themselves found the experience transformative. Johannes Marufu, one of the participants, shared:
"This kind of learning has shaped us in teamwork and problem-solving. We encountered many financial challenges, but we conquered - and that has made us stronger and more resilient."
Shaping the Future of Hospitality Professionals
By embedding experiential training into its curriculum, Trust Academy demonstrates its commitment to producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also practically skilled, adaptable, and ready for the global stage.
