And, depending upon how you well you have picked up in your Course of Studies, these sectors will all be open to accept you in their establishments (starting with the Clarks Hotel itself) depending upon your own decision.

Apart from the RIGHT ATTITUDE & CONFIDENCE in application of the required knowledge & skills to “real – life work situations, students must also respect “Dignity Of Labour”, be ready to put in long hours at work, and have a Passion for this highly respected & existing service industry.
