The Career Placement and Internship Unit (GDS) at IIMS College successfully organized The Corporate Bridge: Hospitality Edition, an industry engagement initiative designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice. The event provided Bachelor of International Hospitality Management (BIHM) students with an exceptional opportunity to interact with some of Nepal’s most prestigious hospitality organizations, gain valuable industry exposure, and explore future internship and career pathways.
The event welcomed participation from renowned hospitality brands, including Yak & Yeti Kathmandu, Fairfield by Marriott Kathmandu, Hotel Barahi Kathmandu, Marriott Kathmandu, Moxy Kathmandu, and Dusit Thani Hotels & Resorts. Representatives from these organizations engaged with students, sharing valuable insights into the hospitality industry’s evolving landscape, workplace expectations, emerging career opportunities, and the essential skills required to excel in a highly competitive global environment.
Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to network directly with industry professionals, ask questions, and gain practical knowledge about recruitment processes, career progression, and professional development within the hospitality sector. The interactions enabled students to better understand industry standards while providing them with guidance on preparing for successful careers in hotels, resorts, and other hospitality establishments.
The Corporate Bridge: Hospitality Edition also served as an important platform for students to strengthen their professional confidence, expand their industry network, and develop a deeper understanding of the diverse opportunities available within the hospitality field. By connecting students with experienced professionals, the event reinforced the importance of industry collaboration in shaping career-ready graduates.
Speaking on the significance of the initiative, the event highlighted IIMS College’s continued commitment to experiential learning and industry engagement. Through such platforms, students are encouraged to complement their academic knowledge with real-world perspectives, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the demands of the modern hospitality industry.
