IIHM INSTITUTE OF HOSPITALITY SKILLS (IIHS) OPENS LARGEST TRAINING CENTRE IN UDAIPUR
NEW DELHI, March 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IIHM Institute of Hospitality Skills (IIHS), India’s largest training centre affiliated with the Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC), proudly announces the grand opening of its state-of-the-art facility in Udaipur today. The centre aims to provide comprehensive courses on hospitality skills, catering to professionals seeking to upskill and enhance their career prospects. With a prime focus on vocational training, IIHS aims to bridge the skill gap and empower individuals in the thriving hospitality industry.
The establishment of IIHS was triggered by IIHM’s recent recognition as the recipient of the Training Partner Award for Highest Training Centre Affiliation. This accolade further solidified IIHM’s commitment to the Skill India and THSC initiatives, paving the way for the creation of IIHS.
IIHS Udaipur is a Joint Venture of IIHM with Inventree Hotel and Resorts. The guiding principle of Itravel (Infallible Travel Concepts), the parent company of the brand “Inventree Hotels and Resorts,” is beautifully encapsulated in the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” which translates to “The World is one Family.” This profound philosophy underscores the importance of prioritizing collective well-being over individual interests. It’s a reminder that their interconnectedness transcends borders and boundaries. At the heart of Itravel’s ethos lie core values such as resource stewardship and a commitment to empowering people. By equipping individuals with employable skills, the company not only uplifts lives but also contributes to the greater good. Indeed, our Mission, Vision, and Values place “Passionate Human Capital” at the very center of operations. Without people, hotels are mere words and structures—a truth that resonates deeply. Moreover, through its collaboration with IIHM, a leading Hotel Management School, Inventree extends the gift of quality education to those in need. By enhancing their employability. Inventree creates a ripple effect of positive change. As the brand continues to flourish, it sets ambitious goals: doubling its inventory within the next two years and ascending to the ranks of the fastest-growing hotel brands.
In this journey, it’s the people- their dreams, aspirations, and hard work – that propel Inventree forward. Together, they weave a tapestry of hospitality, where every thread matters.
On the occasion, Dr Suborno Bose, Founder of IIHS, said, “Udaipur being one of the most iconic tourist destinations of the country, we had to open a centre here, to facilitate skill training for the students in and around and make them ready for the hospitality industry. In this process, the children of Udaipur will be now getting hospitality courses affiliated to the Government of India’s Skill India mission. We are collaborating with Skill India and THSC to train hundreds of skilled hospitality workers in the entire country.”
