Employment opportunities

Revenue in the hotel and catering industry has been increasing for over six years. That means employment opportunities have also been growing (source: CBS). The hotel and catering sector has one of the happiest professional groups in the Netherlands, so this is definitely a great industry to work in (source: HotelloTOP). 

This is what students say

"At ID&T, I am responsible for, among other things, the planning of the construction and for everything that is needed for the festival grounds of Tommorland.”

Maureen Boels | ID&T

"I ran into Roberto Payer. He asked Mart his thoughts on the Waldorf Astoria. A few critical comments from Mart and two days later, Mart was hired by this prestigious five-star hotel."

Mart van der Burg | Housekeeping supervisor Waldorf Astoria

"At the luxury five-star hotel Sofitel Wentworth Sydney I am the banqueting supervisor. I manage my team members, together with the organizer of the event I make sure everything goes well and I solve any problem that may arise.“

Aranka Bos | Sofitel Sydney

Successful in the hospitality industry

Leisure is big business: from a visit to a festival to spending a nice weekend at a luxury hotel. On top of that, the Netherlands is the European country where the most conventions are organised. Following the enormous impact of the coronavirus, it is up to creative managers to help the sector recover from the blows it has received. The rise of booking websites has created a strong need for hospitality professionals with e-commerce expertise. A sector with a future!
