AIHM HIGHER

AIHM’s Executive Education short courses in professional development provide industry professionals the opportunity to upskill, to upgrade their knowledge and to put practical new tools and techniques into action as soon as they complete a two-day course. Taught by guest experts and AIHM’s own passionate faculty, our Executive Education courses tackle the most important topics and talents required to succeed in today’s hospitality industry and in fields beyond.

Preparing for the start of your university experience is just as important as beginning this next step of your educational journey. It’s a moment of transition and wide-open possibilities. This period is also a prime opportunity to cultivate the skills and habits that will serve you well in your university experience, your future career and your personal life. It’s a time to start becoming the person you want to be.

A career in hospitality can take you around the world. Just ask Tip Tirakanirunkul, AIHM instructor in the Practical Arts. Originally from Thailand, she began her higher education locally before pursuing culinary training and a successful pastry career in Europe. Journeying full circle, she returned to her home country several years ago to share her hospitality expertise at universities in Thailand.
