Expanding career opportunities in the global hospitality industry
On March 26, 2026, the Faculty of Hospitality Management of Hoa Sen University (HSU) successfully hosted “The Swiss Standard – Elite Career Masterclass 2026”, drawing strong participation from Elite program students, alongside staff and lecturers.
More than just a workshop, the event empowered students with practical, career-focused insights into the hospitality industry. Through a series of practical and engaging sessions, students explored CV building, personal branding, and career mindset development, while gaining deeper insights into the skills required by global employers, helping them move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Moving beyond theory, the program immersed students in the realities of the global recruitment landscape, where success depended not only on professional competence but also on adaptability, effective communication, and the ability to integrate into multicultural environments seamlessly.
Mock Interview: Real-World Interview Practice for Students
One of the most memorable parts of the workshop was the Mock Interview, which recreated the experience of a real job interview. Students immersed themselves in realistic scenarios, navigating the intensity and demands of professional questioning.
Students had the chance to reflect on their responses, showcase their critical thinking, test their communication skills, and observe their own professional presence under realistic conditions. As a result, students not only became aware of their personal strengths but also developed a clearer sense of the skills they needed to refine to confidently step into the international workforce.
International Expertise in Professional Standards
Led by Ms. Alexandra Watts, a career guidance expert from Swiss Education Group, the workshop brought international expertise directly to HSU students. Through her real-world perspective, she provided practical, relatable, and motivating insights.
Beyond clarifying recruitment standards in the hospitality industry, the program inspired students to take charge of their career development, preparing them to step confidently into the global workforce.
A Significant Achievement in Project-Based Learning for Elite Students
The workshop is not only professionally valuable but also personally significant, as it is planned and executed by the Elite program students through the Project Management course.
By taking responsibility for the concept, communications, and operations, they develop practical skills and confidence in organizing real-world professional events. This also clearly reflects HSU’s practice-oriented training approach, where students not only acquire knowledge but are also given opportunities to gain real-world experience and develop through every project.
The Swiss standard – Global Workforce Readiness
“The Swiss Standard – Elite Career Masterclass 2026” is more than a skills workshop; it provides HSU students with a hands-on experience that helps them gradually gain a clearer understanding of their chosen career paths.
From practical sharing sessions and simulated interviews to participating in the program’s organization, every component of the workshop contributes to building confidence, professional thinking, and a collaborative spirit, qualities that are increasingly essential in today’s tourism, restaurant, and hotel industry.
The program leaves a lasting positive impression, motivating students to approach their career paths in a more proactive, confident, and strategic manner.
