Gaining Momentum by Looking At New Courses

While established universities are looking to enhance their appeal and reaching out to the new generation by introducing new courses, new universities are relying on these courses to gain a foothold for themselves. In this time of diversity when the industry is coming up with new profiles to cope with new responsibilities and is constantly re-inventing itself, specialized courses that prepare students for these new posts are gaining ground. Upcoming and newly inaugurated universities know that established universities, owing to bureaucratic problems, will take a while to set up the necessary infrastructure to run these courses, so there is nothing like starting with the courses in demand.

Nithm, an autonomous institute jointly established by the Govt. of AP and the Govt. of India, is offering courses like Diploma in Travel Agency and Tour Operators, Diploma in Facilities Management, Event Management, Food Production and Restaurant and Catering Services and Housekeeping and Tour Guiding programmes. Such courses will definitely see plenty of takers as there aren’t too many institutions in India offer such a wide array of Hospitality and Tourism courses. What is important though, is that capable and knowledgeable people are selected to run these courses. Since the courses are new, getting experienced faculty will be difficult. Let us see how Nithm and other institutes go about it.
