Thomas Cook India has enhanced its Centre of Learning training facility by forming a new partnership with Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Under the new agreement, NTU will offer a seven-day ‘Global Immersion Program’ for Thomas Cook’s Indian students. The week-long course will combine academic classes with corporate visits, and upon completion students receive a certificate signed by the Dean of Nanyang Business School.
“With India becoming one of the world’s fastest growing economies, education and training will form a critical element to skilling its young population,” said Mona Cheriyan, Thomas Cook India’s chief operating officer and head of HR.
“The pioneering Global Immersion Program… is a unique initiative offering India’s students valuable global exposure with a perfect blend of theoretical and practical knowledge. The programme design is compact and is customised to focus on real world relevance. The personal interaction with global faculty and students ensures a greater level of learning and development.”
“Nanyang Business School Singapore, with its deep expertise in the area of tourism and hospitality through its undergraduate program and long association with Cornell university, is well positioned to support and collaborate with Thomas Cook India while it embarks on increasing its footprint in Asia through latest acquisitions,” commented Puneet K Narula, NTU’s country director for India.
“We at NBS are very excited with today’s signing for hosting Global Immersion program at Singapore and hope to build a long term association with Thomas Cook for mutual benefit of both organisations.”
The first Global Immersion Program will run from 11-17 January 2016, and the student package includes return airfares from Mumbai, accommodation, all meals, visas, insurance and sightseeing opportunities, as well as education. A Thomas Cook tour manager will accompany the students during the programme.
