CHALLENGES
Employers do not believe tourism graduates have thenecessary skills to work in the tourism industry(Petrova and Mason, 2005a)
The most important issue regarding the nature andpurpose of the hospitality and tourism managementdegrees is the relevance of the curriculum to meetboth the students‘ expectations and needs of thehospitality and tourism industry
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
The higher education institutions continuously developpools of tourism graduates every year to meet theoverwhelming demand by the expanding industry.Unfortunately, few graduates are dedicated to the industryand committed to their jobs.
Industry managers comment that young tourismgraduates seem to have unrealistic career expectations.For example, they expect to get promotion from operativeto managerial levels within two to three years in the hotelindustry (Dewar et al., 2007)
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
The challenge though is to make students realize how important itis to have generic competencies, how these improve theiremployment opportunities in a highly competitive market and thatthey should take ownership of these (Maher & Graves, 2007).
They should also be aware of the needs and be able to relate theirabilities to those required by employers (Yorke & Harvey, 2005). Ifstudents do not see the need or importance, the likelihood ofhigher education institutions managing to convince students toinstill these, will be difficult (Coll & Zegward, 2002).
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
Work-integrated programs have the purpose ofpreparing students for the workplace by identifyingand developing the important competencies thatare believed to be needed by employers (Hodges &Burchell, 2003). Although institutions may haveadvisory committees involving industry employersto establish the currency of curricula, discussionsare usually about technical skills that should be anoutcome of the curricula and not thecompetencies that students should demonstrate.
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
Approach to Teaching and Curriculum Development
Many educational institutions in the traveland tourism industry, constantly strives toprepare students by developing andenhancing management competencies.
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
CTHM GoalsThe College of Tourism & Hospitality Management of theUniversity of Santo Tomas, in line with the University’smission and vision, commits itself to form genuine andglobally competitive Thomasian Tourism andHospitality practitioners through:
The provision of scholarly and professional expertise tomeet the dynamic needs of the travel, tourism andhospitality industry while continuing to promote moralintegrity, traditional values, and culture.
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
Tourism education and curriculum design atwhatever level are embedded in a complexconstruct of influences of stakeholders, withstudents, employers (or the industry) andgovernment funding bodies being the mostimportant ones (Tribe, 2002; Smith andCooper, 2002; Morgan, 2004).

Employers are expecting graduates to be work-readyand demanding a range of competencies and qualitiesof them (Yorke & Harvey, 2005). Educationalinstitutions should be critical of their programofferings and question if they are nurturing theappropriate competencies and consider how best toensure these are developed (Kember & Leung, 2005).

Most studies consider the inclusion of industrialattachment/internship as an integral part of a tourismand hospitality degree programme (Heaton et al., 2008;Archer et al., 2008; Martin et al., 2010). Workplacements can provide the ‘bridge‘ necessary for newgraduates even before they have completed their degreecourse whilst at the same time making a significantcontribution to the employing organization (Heaton etal., 2008).
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
The time spent in real life situations givesstudents the opportunity to apply abstractconcepts learnt in the classroom. The soft skills arehandled in a realistic manner rather than trying tosimulate opportunities by carrying out role play orsimilar teaching methods in a classroom experience(Tovey, 2001; Warysazak, 1999).

Higher Education institutions offering suchprograms have the infrastructure of physicalfacilities that allow for the teaching of technicalskills such as reception proficiency, culinarymethods and service to customers, which studentswill need in the workplace environment. Thesetechnical skills are then transferred to the realwork environment by the students having acompulsory semester of work-integrated learning(Crebert et al., 2004; Fleming & Eames, 2005).

The nature of tourism and hospitalitymanagement is ideal to utilize work-integrated learning as a method oftransferring classroom activities to the workplace.
MARIA CECILIA A. TIO CUISON UST MANILA PHILIPPINES
It is considered an educational strategy where learning inthe classroom alternates with learning in the workplace(Jones & Quick, 2007) and allows for the competencies ofstudents to be developed and nurtured by the mentors.
It is “a teaching and learning strategy that integratesmeaningful community service with instruction and reflectionto enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility,and strengthen communities.” (National Service Learning Clearinghouse)

To quote Vanderbilt University’s Janet S. Eyler (winner ofthe 2003 Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for ServiceLearning) and Dwight E. Giles, Jr., it is
“a form of experiential education where learning occurs through acycle of action and reflection as students. . . seek to achieve realobjectives for the community and deeper understanding and skillsfor themselves. In the process, students link personal and socialdevelopment with academic and cognitive development. . .experience enhances understanding; understanding leads to moreeffective action.”
