"I'm In": The Official Institute of Hospitality Podcast

The Future of Hospitality Education

In this episode, we all grab our crystal balls and take a look into what the future of hospitality education might look like. The inspiration for today’s chat came from this cool quote from Abraham Lincoln.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it”.

So the question at hand today was centered around how would this quote apply to hospitality education over the next 10 years.

Helping Phil get to the bottom of this was Joshua Wilson AIH, Yoo Ri Kim MIH and Ben Purton FIH.

Before they all got stuck into the headline topic, Phil once again asked his guests why they said “I’m In” to the IOH: -

Giving back
Events & Networking
Mentoring
The people you meet from many corners of the industry
Sharing knowledge
Bridge the gap between academia and industry
To utilise the education bank of knowledge

And then to today’s topic. It has to be said that we had a wonderful array of guests on today’s panel with perspectives coming from different stages and areas of the industry but all united in their passion. That came across throughout the chat.

They covered areas such as: -

Integration between academia and industry
The lessons from the past
Where the responsibility for improvement falls
Tools and resources available to us now
Some things for you to ponder for the future
The IOH’s (And its membership) role in the future of education
What we need to focus on

Along with lots more.

A huge thank you to our guests for giving up their time and really bringing the passion

Enjoy!
