“Since founding the scholarships in 1997, we’ve seen 185 people benefit through education on these world-leading management courses,” explains Stuart Johnson, chairman of the Master Innholders.

“This programme is part of our commitment to help the UK hospitality industry compete successfully in an increasingly competitive global stage.”

Each candidate is subjected to rigorous assessment based on aptitude, industry experience, communication and self-awareness, as well as their personal development and financial needs.

The courses offer the successful candidate the opportunity to enhance their knowledge, skills and benefit from training that is not available in the workplace by matching them to a course based on their industry experience and areas of development.
