This data-driven approach ensures that the curriculum directly addresses current work requirements and meets the high-quality standards demanded by the international hospitality sector. By raising the professional readiness of national cadres, the hotel aims to enhance service quality and ensure long-term institutional sustainability.

He emphasized that properly empowered Bahraini talent remains the most sustainable choice for national institutions, ensuring that training aligns with both current job roles and future growth opportunities.
