The curriculum will place special emphasis on health and nutrition, sustainability, food waste management, successful franchising, design thinking, risk management in business and digital marketing in hospitality.
"We are pleased to sign this MOU with NYP-ACI, for it places us in a prime position to offer a wider platform for sharing best practices, knowledge exchange and skills upgrading to FHA participants," said Mr. Chris Kilbee, Executive Director, ASEAN, Informa Markets. "We look forward to working closely with NYP-ACI to address the knowledge gap the workforce in Singapore is facing, and support companies in their business transformation journeys."
