Career Through Training

Industrial training, which gives students the chance to obtain practical experience in actual hospitality settings, is one of the most important elements of these programs. Students' job interests and decisions are influenced by this exposure in addition to helping them acquire practical skills.

This research focuses on a tracer study aimed at assessing the satisfaction levels of hotel management students who have undergone industrial training and examining how their experiences influence their career choices. By analyzing the relationship between industrial training satisfaction and career choices, this study seeks to offer insights into the factors that contribute to students' career decision-making processes in the hotel management field.

In a broader sense, training is the semi-permanent or permanent change of knowledge, skill, and behavior of the trainee. Training effectiveness is the principal evaluations that establish the extent to which training enhances the employee’s ability, culture, and practice in an organization. In the recent decade, organizations strive to measure the effectiveness of training as they want to know whether the given training is fruitful or not. The training evaluation meets several needs like how well the preparation meets trainee’s requirements and objectives; what skill, as well as knowledge, have been reported to learners; what desirable changes it has brought in the trainee’s performance; and what organizational benefit it has yielded, etc. Unfortunately, several organizations do not agree to spend their resources after the training period. They utilize a feedback system to take learners’ opinions. This method is not suitable to measure the effectiveness of training. In this feedback method, short-term effectiveness is measured, but the long-term effectiveness of training cannot be determined.

It is anticipated that the study's conclusions will offer insightful commentary to the hospitality sector as well as educational institutions. They will point out the advantages and disadvantages of the current industrial training programs and make suggestions for improving industry cooperation, job readiness, and student happiness. In the end, this study seeks to support continued initiatives to match industry demands with hotel management education, guaranteeing that students are prepared for success in their chosen fields.
