Vatel Bahrain proudly took part in the twelfth edition of the Ajman International Education and Training Exhibition (AETEX), a four-day event hosted by the Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The exhibition convened an esteemed assembly of premier universities and higher education institutions from the Gulf region, the broader Arab world, and beyond, fostering a dynamic exchange of educational opportunities.

At its dedicated pavilion, situated alongside renowned international universities and institutes, Vatel Bahrain presented its internationally recognised Bachelor’s Programme in International Hotel Management, which seamlessly integrates theoretical education with hands-on practical training. This programme equips students with the essential skills and expertise to become future leaders in the global tourism, hospitality, and hotel management sectors.

Throughout the exhibition, Vatel Bahrain’s team highlighted the key advantages of enrolling at the college. These include assured employment prospects in the tourism sector, both within Bahrain and internationally, facilitated by the college’s robust network. The programme also offers extensive practical training opportunities at world-renowned four- and five-star hotels.

This immersive training experience provides students with nearly two years of industry exposure before graduation, as the programme is further strengthened by a faculty composed of highly qualified educators with extensive experience in hospitality, tourism, and hotel management.
