Cairo Hospitality Training Centre

Egypt’s hospitality industry is experiencing strong growth, driven by expanding tourism and rising expectations among international guests. To meet the growing demand for qualified professionals, SHL is working with the Sanara Academy of Hospitality to establish a practice-oriented training centre in Cairo based on the Swiss model. The aim is to provide young people with high-quality training in Kitchen, Service, Front Office and Housekeeping, thereby making an active contribution to the professionalisation of Egypt’s hospitality sector. At the heart of the project are the establishment of a quality management system with official SHL certification and the implementation of the Swiss dual vocational education and training model.
