Mr Kashif Mueed Rabbani, GM Nishat Hotel visited COTHM college New Garden Town campus to inspire students to follow careers in the hospitality industry.
After his meeting with CEO and founder COTHM Mr Ahmad Shafiq, Mr Kashif greeted students, who stood in line to take pictures with him and ask his advice about their own careers and aspirations.
Hospitality Management students were impressed with Kashif’s professionalism and his longevity as a hospitality expert.
While the students asked a number of questions about his position as a General Manager, the group also asked how he managed to stand out and ascend to higher positions throughout his career. “If you work hard, people will take notice,” was Kashif’s advice for the students looking to break into the competitive landscape of hospitality industry. Of his current position, Mr Kashif noted that “a GM’s most important job is to lead,” adding that he endeavors to hire “the smartest people I can find who have great work ethics.”
“We are delighted to welcome the GM and to have the chance to demonstrate how this college is offering a truly tertiary experience for our learners and have a positive impact on our communities and the local economy by providing accessible pathways into learning with seamless progression from further to higher education and into skill-based learning,” says Mr Shafiq. As a partner of the leading international hotels, we have been able to provide job opportunities to our immensely talented students.
While appreciating the state of the art facility and its initiatives, the GM exclaimed, “It was a pleasure to visit College of Tourism and Hotel Management. The college plays a vital role in ensuring learners across some very remote areas have access to quality tertiary education and it was great to see the innovative learning methods that are being used to achieve that.”
He appreciated the fact that the curriculum is industry relevant, addresses necessary critical skills, meets international education learning standards, and offers internationally recognized certifications.
