Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Signs on as Official Academic Program and Module Partner with Hotel Institute Montreux

Bringing expertise, prestige and international experience direct from the industry, the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts will be working together with the Academic team at the Hotel Institute Montreux over the next few months to adapt the existing program into a customized industry focused HR Specialization Program.

The Swiss Education Group is dedicated to always updating and upgrading courses to fit the needs of the market to give the students the best educational experience possible. For this reason, having direct industry involvement in program development is an effective way to match the market expectations with course teachings and strengthen the student-learning experience. For Hotel Institute Montreux students, this partnership brings unique access to reputable international market insights delivered directly from the experts.

As a part of this partnership with HIM, the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts will deliver special lectures by guest speakers from the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts throughout the academic term and look to Hotel Institute Montreux to recruit students for potential internships and management training programs.

When asked about this new partnership, Hotel Institute Montreux Academic Dean, Ulrika Bjorklund added, "What makes this relationship even more remarkable is the fact that the Geneva based Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues is just a short train ride away. Because of this, our students will have the opportunity to travel to the hotel for in-person study experiences surrounded by some of the best in their field."

Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Senior Director of Human Resources, Ms Sophie Senjaric will be traveling to Hotel Institute Montreux on November 17, 2014 to give the first guest lecture. HIM students have been working together with Mr. Pascal Serignat, HIM Human Resources Lecturer to prepare for a rewarding educational exchange.

On behalf of all of us at the Hotel Institute Montreux and Swiss Education Group, welcome to the family Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts!
