Region. UWS hospitality study

A University of Western Sydney study will investigate the employability of university graduates in an industry that places high value on customer service skills and experience. Karina Wardle, a PhD candidate from the UWS School of Business, is conducting a study of the value of ‘Work Integrated Learning’ (WIL) in the hospitality industry. The aim of Ms Wardle’s PhD study is to demonstrate the practical implications of WIL to the enhancement of graduate attributes and employability, and to provide a framework for universities, private colleges and TAFE when integrating WIL into their hospitality programs.
