THRIVE: 12 E m p l o y a b i l i t y For organisations in the tourism and hospitality industries, partnership is key as it allows for the development of a pipeline of future employees, links to corporate social responsibility, contributes to the sustainability of these industries and contributes to compliance with BBBEE codes of good practice in terms of skills development. Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placements are a requirement for all students in their third year of the following qualifications: ◼ ◼ Diploma: Tourism Management ◼ ◼ Diploma: Food & Beverage Operations Industry partners can also get involved in providing WIE opportunities, which include mentorship, industry-based case studies and delivering guest lectures for all students, studying towards qualifications in Tourism Development and Management, Food & Beverage Operations and Hospitality Management. As the tourism and hospitality industries shift and new futures of work emerge, career expectations have changed dramatically.
