THE BODHGAYA HOTEL SCHOOL
In Bihar, one of India’s poorest States, the growing and labour-intensive hotel industry contrasts with the high rate of unemployment among youth. Thanks to the flourishing hospitality sector, an opportunity has come forward to associate training with a self-sustainable Hotel School that provides youth with the skills needed for employability on the hotel market in India.
By connecting students directly with guests, we combine a proven curriculum with a learning platform that allows our trainees to deliver high quality service to our customers. The Bodhgaya Hotel School maximizes economic and social benefits for all stakeholders and invites guests to participate in a unique experience.
