Sunjae Sharma – Managing Director – India & Southwest Asia, Hyatt Hotels, “At a time when India is emerging as a global leader in the hospitality industry, there is significant growth potential for the youth of India who choose the VET by EHL programme, offered by the Confederation of Indian Industry. We are proud to be the first international hotel chain company in India to collaborate with CII and EHL for this initiative and to contribute to training a new generation of hoteliers. I am confident that the learning and training imparted at Hyatt will enable these young minds to stand out in this competitive sector and achieve their dreams.”
Aman Aditya Sachdev, Director & Regional Head at EHL for South Asia, Middle East & Myanmar, “The VET by EHL program is based on principles of the world-renowned Swiss Competency Framework and has been developed by EHL subject matter experts and faculty members, as well as with global industry feedback.

Sougata Roy Choudhury – Executive Director, Confederation of Indian Industry, “With the rapidly expanding hospitality industry in India and many other countries, there is an unprecedented requirement of skilled professionals. Also, the youths’ interest in long duration courses is dwindling. Hence, CII, as an Industry body has stepped in to bridge this gap through the VET by EHL Swiss Professional Diploma initiative, that offers practical training by industry experts at renowned and luxurious Hyatt hotels. We ensure students are job-ready from day one, and upon completing this 18-month diploma, they secure placements in top hotels and restaurants worldwide.”
The VET by EHL Swiss Professional Diplomas is spread over 18 months, divided into three levels of learning: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced. The program will offer learning in three distinct streams: ‘Culinary’, ‘Food & Beverage Service’, and ‘Rooms’, following VET by EHL’s world-renowned quality assurance standards. Each certificate level builds skills on top of the previous and culminates in a Professional Diploma.
Students will get online access to the world-class global Learning Management System. They will be assessed on both theoretical knowledge on the Learning Management System and practical skills acquired during training. Upon completion of the course, they will become part of the prestigious VET by EHL Global Alumni Network. Furthermore, they are also offered the option to enroll for and pursue a UGC-recognized degree.
Students are assured placements by CII after successful completion of the program. Backed by the coveted international diploma, being job-ready in 18 months and with real-life learning experience at luxury hotels, they will turn sought-after by all five-star hotels in the country and abroad.
