Harpo’s School of Hospitality & Tourism Management Galle was set up in 2012 and to date has conducted three to six month certificate programs on a range of hospitality subjects and all who have passed have already obtained employment in the resort hotels which has a high demand for trained staff in the fast expanding hotel industry.
The school is managed by energetic and experienced Centre Manager Damitha Nalin with expert advice from well-known hotelier and training expert Asoka Jayawardena.
The current expansion of the hospitality industry has created immense potential for various levels of staff required for operations and Harpo’s Hotel School has been focused on providing grass-root level training to introduce students to the trade and offering them the opportunity to continue in their career.
Industrial training with employment is offered also at Harpo’s Cafés & Restaurants, namely The Bayleaf, The Commons, Park Street Mews and Colombo Fort Café in Colombo.
