蓝山国际酒店管理学院的学位课程为毕业生进入酒店行业做好充足准备。
蓝山酒店管理学院为学生进入酒店行业准备好必备的行业技巧和知识
全世界的酒店行业都面临着同样一个问题 - 招收并留住高素质的员工，这个问题导致酒店行业中技能型人才与整个员工数量的比例严重失调。如今，酒店行业日新月异，每天都有很多家新的酒店成立，这个问题就变得更加复杂了。导致技术型人才缺失的关键因素是很多成绩优异的毕业生离开了这个行业甚至是毕业后无从进入酒店行业工作。
近年来，成绩不错，但并没有做好充足准备的毕业生在一毕业就离开了这个行业。反观教育模式，大学学位被当做是一个有具体专业的泛泛的学位，这种观念已成为如今的教育趋势。酒店课程就是一个例子，如今酒店类的课程越来越多的被当做专业来教授，通常属于商业学位。但是这些泛泛的课程未必针对酒店行业特定的工作环境及条件来培养学生。酒店管理专业人士需要实用的，实践能力强的个性化教学。但是很多学校的酒管类课程并没有搭配实训课程，因为小班教学被学校认为不划算，很多大学并没有认识到实践技能对于处在高等教育阶段的学生的重要性。
此外，很多酒管类的课程并不要求学生参加行业实习，即使有实习通常也是非常不正式的松散的，学生并不能从中得到很好的发展。一个有组织有纪律的行业实习对于学生来说非常重要，因为学生是在边学习边在这个行业工作，因此一次正规，正式的实习会对学生想进入这个行业工作的决心产生积极的影响。
课程结构
认识到行业趋势及反馈，蓝山国际酒店管理学院（Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School）开设的工商学士或硕士课程结合了工商管理理论，实践性学习以及有组织的行业实习，来为学生提供全面的教育。这样的教育模式可以确保学生在毕业以后具备酒店行业的雇主所高度看中的行业技巧与专业知识。我们的课程是为适应酒店行业的需求而量身定做的，实用的餐饮，客房部，前厅运营都被安排在课程之中。所有的学位课程都包含行业实习，这样学生就可以获得实际工作经验，可以使学生一毕业就为他们的第一份行业工作做好准备。当然，澳大利亚酒店业的行业实习都是带薪实习。
毕业生专享的合作伙伴项目
为确保这个项目的成功，蓝山国际酒店管理学院与多家国际酒店建立了长久合作关系，这些酒店与我们合作并雇用我们的学生。我们的合作酒店包括：雅高集团（Accor），索菲特酒店（Sofitel），四季酒店（Four Seasons），洲际酒店（IHG），希尔顿酒店（Hilton），万豪酒店（Marriot），喜达屋国际酒店集团（Starwood），TFE酒店集团，我们有一个非常广的行业伙伴关系网。
我们用毕业生专享合作伙伴项目来加深我们的合作，这个项目于2007年建立，是为了应对澳大利亚技术型人才短缺的局面，恰逢那时酒店行业对于我们鲁拉校区的毕业生的需求处在供不应求的局面。我们把行业对于学生的需求当做是提高我们的教学水平与强化课程的机会，借此提高我们学生对工作的自信心。毕业生专享合作伙伴项目是一项竞争激烈的招聘项目，旨在将我们的本科毕业生（酒店与度假管理，会展管理与餐饮管理），与研究生（酒店管理与国际商务管理）与我们的行业伙伴建立联系。这个项目可以为酒店行业提供一个机会招聘并指导我们的优秀毕业生在未来可以迈向高级酒店。
三大支柱教学方法
在蓝山国际酒店管理学院的所有校区，我们为所有取得成就的曾在我们学校求学的世界各地的年轻人庆祝。他们的成功和蓝山国际酒店管理学院有着密不可分的联系，因为我们为学生提供丰富的学习经历，我们称之为“三大支柱”，用这个教学方法完成酒店管理教育，这个方法是对教育价值，信仰以及教育理念的支持。这些价值观表现在专业，学生个人成长，发展实践技能以及学术成就上。这个教学方法将学生的个人发展与学术成就看得同等重要。
蓝山国际酒店管理学院衡量这个教学方法的成功是通过行业认可的，包括2014年在内蓝山多次获得澳大利亚旅游教育与培训金奖，是亚太地区公认的排名第一的国际酒店管理学校，在2013年TNS全球调查中在世界排名第八。

Degree Courses that Ensure Graduates are Industry Ready
BMIHMS Prepares Students with Industry Skills and Knowledge
The hospitality industry worldwide is confronted with the problem of attracting and retaining quality employees, which has lead to a shortage of skilled personnel to staff the large number of hospitality businesses. With new hotels being built everyday this issue is growing with many complexities. One of the key contributors that have added to the skills shortage is a large number of academically qualified young graduates who are leaving the industry or even failing to enter the industry upon graduation.
Over recent years qualified, but unprepared graduates’ are leaving the industry upon graduation. Looking at education models there has been a trend for university degrees to be offered as broad degrees with specific majors. This has been the case with hospitality programs, which are increasingly being taught as majors, commonly within business degrees. These broad programs do not necessarily train students for the unique working conditions that careers in the industry will provide. Hospitality Management professionals require practical hands on personalised teaching. Many of these degrees have no practical training components within the curriculum, as teaching small classes is not seen to be cost effective, and many universities do not see it as the role of Higher Education to provide students with practical skills.
Additionally many of these programs do not require students to undertake industry placements or internships or, if they do, these are quite often unstructured and not well developed. A structured industry placement is very important, as a student’s experience working in an industry, whilst studying, will impact their decision to pursue a career in that industry.
Course Structure
Recognising and acting upon industry feedback and trends Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS) deliver bachelor or business and master degree courses that combine business management theory with practical learning and structured work placements to provide a holistic approach to education, which ensures graduates have the skills and knowledge that is highly desired by hospitality employers. Courses are tailored to industry requirements, have practical Food and Beverage, Rooms Division and Front Office operation units built in to the curriculum. All degree courses contain industry placements, which provide realistic work experiences that prepare students for their first professional role upon graduation. Significantly, Industry Placements within hotels in Australia are paid.
Graduate Privileged Partners Program
To ensure the success of this program, BMIHMS has long standing relationships with international hospitality organisations that work with us and actively recruit our students. With organisations including: Accor, Sofitel, Four Seasons, IHG, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriot, Starwood and TFE Hotels we have an extensive network of industry partners.
Furthering our industry connections is ‘The Graduate Privileged Partners Program’. This was established in 2007 in response to a skills shortage in Australia. At the time, our Leura campus was being inundated with requests from the industry requiring staff. BMIHMS used this demand for students as an opportunity to enhance our teaching and strengthen the curriculum, whereby developing our students’ confidence in the workplace. The Graduate Privileged Partners Program (GPP) is a competitive recruitment initiative designed to connect our highest achieving undergraduate, (Hotel and Resort Management, Events Management and Restaurant and Catering Management) and postgraduate (Hotel Management and Global Business Management) students with a select group of industry partners. This program provides a unique opportunity for the hospitality industry to recruit and guide our top graduates towards the senior hotel management roles of the future.
Three Pillars Approach
At all BMIHMS campuses, we celebrate the personal achievements of many fine young people from all over the world who have attended our Schools. The Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School makes a difference because we offer an enriched learning experience we call the ‘Three Pillar’ approach to hospitality management education endorsing these educational values, beliefs and teaching philosophies. These values are expressed in terms of Professional and Personal Growth, Practical Skills Development and Academic Achievement. This approach values a student’s personal development just as highly as their academic performance.
BMIHMS measures the success of this approach through the industry recognition received over many years including the 2014 Australian Tourism Gold Award for Tourism Education and Training, as well as being recognised as the number 1 International Hospitality Management School in Asia Pacific and number 8 in the world by the TNS worldwide survey of hospitality employers (2013).
