Thailand’s Montara Hospitality Group is launching a new training academy designed to boost the skills of Thailand’s hospitality workforce.
To be officially launched on 21 July 2014, the Trisara Academy takes the name of Montara’s luxury resort in Phuket, and will provide “education and knowledge transfer to improving the lives of all Thais”, according to the company.
The project is the brainchild of Montara’s owner, Narong Pattamasaevi, and will be headed up by seasonal hotel professional, Bill Black.
“The aim of establishing Trisara Academy is to create professionals for the growing hospitality business by offering short- and long-term courses ranging from a single day up to three months,” said Black, who also serves as Montara’s president.
The academy will initially offer three programmes. The Trisara Internship Programme will start in September 2014, offering on-the-job training in all aspects of hotel operations, including English language skills, potentially resulting in employment one of Montara’s hotels.
Also starting in September, the Trisara Academy Lecture Series will feature a range of industry professionals providing lectures on a range of topics, starting with e-commerce. Finally, the Montara Career Development Programme will be available to existing Montara employees, offering management skills training.
Montara Hospitality Group owns and manages two resorts in Phuket; the Trisara and Boathouse by Montara.
