“Skills are never taught, they are acquired.” - Raghu Rai

Skills, practical skills for that matter is something that one has to acquire through practice and training. It can never really be taught to someone theoretically. There are a lot of fields which truly demand practical skills and one such field is the field of Hospitality and Hotel Management. In the field of hospitality management & hotel management, just having theoretical knowledge can never be enough. 

All the job roles in this field require the candidates to be very skilled in the activities they perform and the responsibilities they take on, which can only be acquired through practical training and experience. 

This is something that is engrained in the core educational structure of Medhavi Skills University (MSU). Through MSU’s unique and innovative On-Job-Training (OJT) model, students get to gain real skills training at real hospitality management & hotel management settings. To make things even better, the students get the opportunity of experiencing up to 12 months On-the-Job Training in industry premises that is fully paid. The students learn and earn money at the same time. 

Know All About OJT at MSU:

Without the benefit of OJT, the transition from classroom to real workplace could be very difficult for students pursuing a B.Sc in Hospitality and Hotel Management degree, and this is where MSU is making the real difference. 

Take the inspiring journey of Sanjeena Chhetri for instance, a student at Medhavi Skills University pursuing B.Sc in Hospitality and Hotel Management. Her story is the testament to how practical training, experiential learning, and hands-on experience can truly transform one’s learning into career readiness. 

Real-world Foundation for Real-World Success

“I would like to share my experience of on-the-job learning journey. In the third semester, I seized an opportunity to undergo training at Hyatt Regency, Kolkata, a five-star property.

The university provided hands-on practical classes and curriculum before venturing into the on-job-learning journey. Eventually, that laid the foundation for the challenges and opportunities that awaited me in my training period.” 

Hands-on experience and practical training are things which are at the very base of the education provided at Medhavi Skills University. Apart from the aspect of OJT, MSU especially designs their curriculum to include as many practical components as possible. 

Being a skills-based university, MSU offers 70% practical components in their curriculum which helps the students to be prepared for their training as well.

The hotel management course at MSU offers hands-on practical classes that lay a strong base for the industry exposure awaited. This was an important detail in the case of Sanjeena because the practical classes gave her the confidence to navigate her training days at her dream, five-star property. Even while going for On-Job-Training, she was prepared for what may come her way.

Industry Immersion and Gaining Real-life Skills

“Working at a five-star property was a dream come true for me because I am passionate about baking. I was fortunate enough to work in a bakery section. Although my first day was really challenging and was totally different from what I had actually imagined. During the 8-month training period, I faced long hours, no weekends off, but I persevered and learned valuable skills like time management, handling business situations, and teamwork.”

Every hospitality management & hotel management student dreams of working at a five-star property and Sanjeena was no different. With her passion for baking, she was also lucky to get the opportunity to work at the bakery section of the property. 

Training at real hotel premises made her realize how the real industry scenario is completely different than what goes down in the classroom. Her training period was filled with long shifts, difficult scenarios, and struggles but she realized that tackling all these challenges let her gain skills which she would never have gained in a classroom. Along with gaining invaluable skills, she was also getting paid for the efforts she put in because the OJT was paid. She was able to learn and earn at the same time. 

Along with acquiring skills related to hospitality management & hotel management, she also gained invaluable professional skills like time management, tackling business problems, teamwork and others which are also very crucial in this field. These, again, are skills which cannot be gained through classroom learning but through real human experiences. 

Training for Entrepreneurship 

“As I resume my studies at Medhavi Skills University, I am enthusiastically building my own bakery business from home, investing all the invaluable skills that I have gained during my training period.”

The training that she received at Hyatt Regency, Kolkata as a part of her On-Job-Training module did not just prepare her for a career in the field. 

The skills she gained there nurtured her confidence, self-belief, and entrepreneurial dreams. Along with resuming her studies in B.Sc in Hospitality and Hotel Management at Medhavi Skills University, she also started building her own small-business, her bakery business from home. 

Her OJT experience gave her the confidence to start her own venture. Everything she learned and every skill she gained at the property directly shaped her own entrepreneurial journey. The invaluable knowledge and skills she gained will not only help her get a good job but it also transformed her as an individual. 

Here’s What Makes Medhavi Skills University’s On-the-Job Training (OJT) Different

At Medhavi Skills University (MSU), On-the-Job Training (OJT) is central to the academic experience — giving students the chance to gain practical, hands-on skills directly within the premises of the hotels.

Through structured OJT, students work with leading hospitality brands including Hyatt Regency, ITC Sonar Bangla, Sterling Holidays, Holiday Inn, IHG and many more — while still pursuing their degree.

Backed by the Largest Industry Network for OJT in India, MSU ensures that students are continuously exposed to real-world environments, making them truly job-ready from day one.

Why MSU’s OJT Stands Out:

• Real-world training integrated into the curriculum provides industry experience while studying
• Up to 12 month of paid On-the-Job Training in industry premises
• Graduates who are job-ready from day one
