About The Hospitality Institute (THI) - VET by EHL
The Hospitality Institute (THI) - VET by EHL was created to fill the need for trained hospitality professionals on the continent by employing the VET by EHL vocational training model. The Vocational Education & Training (VET) licensing program enables learning centers and organizations to implement ready-made Swiss hospitality training programs, thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges that tourism-developing nations face today: training qualified staff and contributing to long-term employment growth in service sectors.
