Career Focus Days – Experience life at BMIHMS firsthand
在成长过程中，Chris Dennis经常会帮家住维多利亚偏远地区的祖母准备周日午餐，他喜欢提前数个星期就坐下来跟祖母一起计划活动。“确保每一个到访的人都感到宾至如归，”这是他们家族的传统。不过，Chris却从未产生过任何从事酒店行业的想法，直到他所就读的吉普斯兰文法学校的校长维多利亚提出建议，让他关注多伦斯大学蓝山国际酒店管理学院，展望一下项目管理领域的未来趋势。
“我向来擅长交际，喜欢招待他人，因为看到他人的快乐而感到满足。经过广泛调查后，我确信自己能够选择一份正规的职业，做自己真正爱做的事情。会展管理的职业可不仅仅是为家人和朋友准备午餐，“Chris说道。
尚未在蓝山国际酒店管理学院注册入学之前，Chris参加了一项“职场聚焦日”（CFD）活动。该活动为参与者们提供了为期三天的住宿方案——开始于鲁拉校区，结束于悉尼校区。这对于有兴趣来蓝山国际酒店管理学院读书的学生来说是绝佳的机会，他们能够借此直观地看到这里的学生生活。在这里，他们耳闻了专业的商业学位课程，走进了课堂，听闻了全球范围内的行业实习机会，还见到了在校生和教学人员。
“参加CFD活动是一个很棒的体验，它让我知道了自己在鲁拉校区和悉尼校区将要面对怎样的生活。我能够跟在校生们交谈，也能全身心地学习实用教程和理论课程。此外，能够预见自己在毕业时可以选择什么样的工作，这感觉也棒极了，“Chris表示。
除了体验校园生活，CFD活动的参与者们还有机会去参观市内的一处个性化酒店地产，其中还暗藏了对大型酒店日常运维的观察以及向专家们讨教的机会。
“参观位于悉尼市中心的一家大型酒店是很奇妙的体验，这是‘先试后买’的完美机遇，让我确认了蓝山国际酒店管理学院就是一个正确的选择，“Chris说道。
Chris住在偏远地区，因而每一次求学都意味着他将离开家人。所幸蓝山国际酒店管理学院为Chiris提供了一份奖学金，旨在帮助他降低离家在外所承担的生活和跨州安置的成本。蓝山国际酒店管理学院拥有种类繁多的奖学金，每学期的申请者都可以提出奖学金申请。
目前，Chris正在攻读国际酒店与度假村管理和国际会展管理商务本科双学位。

Career Focus Days – Experience life at BMIHMS firsthand
Growing up Chris Dennis regularly helped his grandmother host Sunday luncheons at her home in regional Victoria. He enjoyed sitting down weeks in advance and planning every occasion with her. It was a family tradition to ensure that each guest was made to feel welcome upon his or her arrival. However, he had never thought of a career in hospitality. That was until his head of school at Gippsland Grammar School, Victoria, suggested he check out Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS) at Torrens University, and look into a future in event management.
“I have always been a people person, and enjoy entertaining others; getting satisfaction from seeing other people happy. After some extensive research, it was clear to me that I could make a serious career for myself, doing something that I really enjoy. A career in event management can be much more than organising a luncheon for friends and family,” Chris says.
Prior to enrolling with BMIHMS, Chris participated in one of the Career Focus Days (CFD) programs. CFD is a 3-day residential program – beginning at the Leura Campus, and concluding in Sydney. They are a great opportunity for students interested in studying at BMIHMS to see firsthand what life is like as a student. Students get to hear about specialist business degrees, participate in classes, hear about industry placements all over the world, and meet current students and academic staff.
“Attending the CFD was a great way to experience what life would be like for me at the Leura and Sydney campuses. I was able to speak with current students and immerse myself in both practical tutorials and theoretical lectures. Being able to see what types of jobs will be available to me upon graduation was great also,” he says.
In addition to experiencing student life on campus, attendees of the CFD also get to visit a signature hotel property in the city. Visits include behind the scenes insights into the daily operation of a large-scale hotel, as well as the opportunity to network with industry professionals.
“Getting to see a big hotel in the centre of Sydney was fantastic. This experience was the perfect ‘try before you buy’ opportunity. It really did confirm for me that BMIHMS was the right choice,” Chris says.
Living in a regional area meant that Chris would need to move away from his family to pursue any further study. Chris was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship from BMIHMS, assisting him with the costs of living away from home and relocating interstate. BMIHMS has numerous scholarships available for students to apply for each intake.
Chis is currently completing a dual business degree, majoring in International Hotel and Resort Management and International Event Management.
