Hospitality graduates from the North West Tourism Board Hotel Schools have been applauded for a job well done after completing their national diploma qualifications.

 “As ambassadors of this province, I would encourage you to continue making good impressions, with the way you present yourselves and where you come from and always remember to serve with dignity. As you enter the job market believe in yourselves as much as we believe in you and fly the flag of success as high as you can.

“The province currently has two hotel schools in Mafikeng and Taung, which have grown and expanded over the years. I am pleased with the quality of graduates they continue to produce.  We hope to increase the number of young people who get exposed to the vast tourism and hospitality opportunities which the industry has to offer.  We are confident that we would continue to produce more of this calibre of students at the Orkney Hotel School, once it is completed”, said MEC Mosenogi.

This year, eighty (80) young people constitute the number of graduates that have obtained qualifications in Accommodation Services, Food and Beverage Management as well as Professional Cookery. 

The North West Tourism Board Hotel School Division, Acting Rector Mr Malebo Molema said the institution is committed to creating centres of excellence at all its training and demonstration facilities, which exposes students to 5-star service standar
