You may have seen posts from Villars Palace Academy, but this Friday, as promised last week, we brought them to our Feature Fridays spot where they will tell us a little bit more about what they offer: 

Can you tell us something about Villars Palace Academy?

THE NEW ERA OF HOSPITALITY & LEADERSHIP TRAINING IN SWITZERLAND - “Tell me and I’ll forget, teach me and I’ll remember, involve me and I’ll learn” Benjamin Franklin

What agents are you looking to work with? (nationalities, types of students etc)

Partners from around the world are precious for us! If they wish their students to learn, grow, come out of their comfort zone, have lifelong memories, and create a successful career, then the Villars Palace Academy is certainly the next place they want them to be!

At the Villars Palace Academy we are looking for passionate people with big dreams! The Palace Academy is a place for future leaders willing to grow on a personal level as well as learning the Swiss hospitality excellence and much more.

For us, academic excellence isn’t the only trait we’re looking at when recruiting our future students. The Palace Academy family is a community of curious, open minded and entrepreneurial people, willing to shape the new era of hospitality business.

Therefore, we expect our partners worldwide to promote us with this in mind and without any restriction on nationality or cultural background.

Part of our philosophy is also to support talented students, thanks to our scholarship programme:

Villars Alpine Resort and Villars Palace Academy support Swiss hospitality and the development of the local economy by offering an innovative vocational Hospitality and Leadership programme to students from all walks of life. We have our heart set on helping young people receive the best education to reach their professional dreams and become the best Hospitality leaders of tomorrow. We have therefore implemented a scholarship system to help students with less financial means to join our programme, based on their family income. If you would like to apply for a Villars Palace Academy’s scholarship, please contact our Director of admissions for details of application.
