A Secured Source of EHL-trained Vocational Staff for your Hotel or Restaurant

    Our vocational training initiative addresses the lack of qualified personnel in the different departments of the Swiss hotel and restaurant industry. We aim to offer Swiss hoteliers and restaurants owners access to a pool of future employees who completed a 10-week accelerated EHL vocational training program.
