The hospitality industry in Sweden is booming. New hotels and high-end restaurants are popping up across the country, however there is not enough qualified staff in Sweden to meet the growing demand.

Swiss Education Group’s programmes are popular among Swedish students, many of which are receiving financial support from the VISITA Foundation. The hope is that the Swedes will return home to support the fast growing hospitality industry where there are many positions to be filled.

Caroline Rådestad, Coordinator of higher education at VISITA says that financially helping Swedish hospitality students through the VISITA foundation is important for the future of Sweden’s tourism success. Swiss Education Group brings the industry to the classroom. This hands-on approach to learning is an education model that Swedish schools can learn from.

We need to attract more people to work in our industry and we also need to offer them several possibilities to educate themselves. One of our aims is to create a strong collaboration between Swedish schools and the industry: Something that you are doing here with the schools of Swiss Education Group.
Caroline Rådestad, Coordinator of higher education at VISITA.

Claes Livijn, a Swedish Entrepreneur and board member of the VISITA Foundation who has opened several hotels in Sweden was especially impressed by the approach of IHTTI.

Design, Operations & Finance: These are 3 important factors that needs to be equally considered for a successful hotel business. IHTTI runs a really interesting programme, preparing students to find the right balance with those three factors in order to succeed with future hotels!
