The Hoa Sen Elite program students who participated in the meeting, including Quach Thanh Đat, Luu Le Minh Man, Ha Hoang Phi, Nguyen Thanh Truc, and Nguyen Thi Thao Van, had the opportunity to be interviewed directly by the General Manager and the HR Director for internship positions at the hotel in the United States.

Mr. Marc Sternagel, the General Manager of Grand Hyatt Hotel, expressed that the skills demonstrated by the students during the interviews are well-evaluated by the hotel. The hotel does not need to reteach the specific knowledge but rather guide them on how to handle real-life situations and manage people effectively.

Through the meeting with the leadership of Grand Hyatt, the Department of Hotel and Tourism once again reaffirmed the two core values of international standards and practical experience at HSU. The department consistently provides opportunities for students to interview with businesses and apply for positions at leading hotels worldwide, emphasizing the importance of international standards and hands-on practical learning.
