Queensland's expected tourism growth is one of the drivers behind a new hotel school that launched in Brisbane this month.
Established through Southern Cross University, in conjunction with hotel giant Mulpha Australia, The Hotel School is the only education provider in Australia formed through a partnership between a public university and global hotel investment group.
Southern Cross University Vice Chancellor Professor Adam Shoemaker said the launch of the Brisbane campus was a pivotal moment for both The Hotel School and the University.
“Southern Cross University is a leader in the hotel and tourism management field with outstanding rankings and graduate employment outcomes," he said.
“By aligning with a premium brand in Mulpha Australia, The Hotel School enables students to draw on their learning right from the start of their studies and potentially undertake internships and employment opportunities in some of the world’s most prestigious hotels.
“That is invaluable for people looking to make a career in Hotel and tourism management."
The launch of The Hotel School’s Brisbane campus comes ahead of Queensland tourism developments such as Queen’s Wharf and the proposed Brisbane Live precinct, which are set to create thousands of additional jobs – 20,000 in 2020 alone.

Mulpha Australia CEO Greg Shaw said such projections reinforced the importance for the hospitality industry to support the education and training of qualified recruits.
“The Hotel School allows students to develop their leadership skills and learn about hotel operations at Mulpha-owned properties during a rotational schedule, on-the-job training and mentoring,” he said.
“We also have strategic alliances with major global hotel groups including Marriott, Accor and TFE that last year allowed us to provide more than 8000 industry experience opportunities specifically tailored for our graduates and interns."
The Hotel School’s existing campuses in Melbourne and Sydney boast a 95 percent employment rate within six months of graduation, with almost 70 percent of students finding employment prior to graduation.

“As Brisbane’s most established and largest luxury hotel, Sofitel Brisbane Central hopes to continue a strong relationship with The Hotel School and their students as they progress in their hotel career.” he said.
“The truth is, we are all still students and learning every day from our guests and colleagues.
"Hotels have always been - and will continue to be, a dynamic, agile and ever evolving environment where we are meeting different people from all walks of life."
