GVET (Hotel & Gastronomy)

The dual vocational training program in Germany comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. In Hotel & Gastronomy (HOGA) students spend 18 weeks per year at a vocational school where they acquire the theoretical knowledge that they need in their future occupation. The rest of the time they work in a Hotel, where they get to apply their newly acquired knowledge in practice and learn how their work place operates.

Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training program are very good. That is why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all German students leaving school go on to start a dual vocational training program. After passing the finals exams, students are recognized professionals in Europe and stand a good chance of starting a successful career in Germany.
