The hospitality industry is mostly service-oriented and it is preferable that people working there are not only scholarly educated but are also equipped with practical skills, professional attitude as well as good communication skills. Preparedness to industrial training involves the readiness of hospitality students concerning their successfully meeting the training programs in the industry.
This includes technical competence, inter-personal skills, professional behavior, self confidence, adaptability and a sense of professional code at workplace. Students who are better prepared regarding industrial training adjust faster in the dynamic settings in the hotels, restaurants among others. They show enhanced interaction between them and clients and colleagues, adhere to professionalism, and perform their duties of operation efficiently. Such a degree of readiness helps enrich their training experience and provide them with useful insights into real operations of a hospitality.
One of its advantages is the training of real life skills, though hospitality education usually focuses on theoretical training, the industrial one will provide students with the occasion to practice this knowledge in the practice and develop the abilities to solve problems, cooperate with others, learn to use time wisely which are the keys to success in the industry. Ready students also feel more confident and show more positive attitude towards their profession, and, therefore, are able to cope with the interaction with the guests, overcome stressful situation interactions, more successfully.},
