Since its inception, Hotel ICON, the SHTM's teaching and research hotel, has spearheaded the School's efforts to further develop the hospitality sector. As a central component in the SHTM's innovative educational approach, the hotel continues to cultivate an outstanding new generation of hoteliers.
A key part of this cultivation is the Elite Management Programme, in which Hotel ICON provides sector-focused, on-the-job learning
opportunities to the best and most promising Year 2 students in the School's Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Hotel Management Programme. On 29 May 2023, a ceremony was hosted to welcome this year's talented recruits, Miss Stephanie Chan, Miss Audrey Kwong, Mr Mikul Manocha, Mr Ricky Ngan and Mr Sam To, who began the first phase of full-time training in June.
This unique internship programme offers students the opportunity to benefit from Hotel ICON's transparent operations and gain a
holistic understanding of the industry by participating in the day-to-day operations of various departments in a real-world hotel environment. As one of the industry's most integrated and intensive training initiatives, this 11-month programme gives outstanding students a career-defining opportunity to shadow top managers at Hotel ICON. Equipped with a strong skill set and the wisdom developed through hands-on experience, the graduates of the Elite Management Programme are perfectly positioned
to become hospitality leaders in Hong Kong and beyond.
The SHTM is committed to raising the standards of hospitality training. This exceptional programme is a testament to the SHTM and Hotel ICON's dedication to strengthening the reputation of excellence in the hospitality and tourism industry throughout Asia.
