During the exchange, the factor mentioned many times is the need for qualified employees. Because of a lack of skills, the hotels are training themselves the new employees and they are leaving for a better salary when they are more qualified.

The CCIFG introduce to the speaker the School Vatel that is planned to be opened in September 2018. The school will offer a Bachelor degree for different professions. This three year diploma will be taught by specialist of the field and will have compulsory internships to have not only technical but also pratical knowledge.
