Do you want to have impact on the very start of the HTH Student Journey?
Are you passionate about shaping the future HTH student community?
Do you enjoy actively representing HTH to both internal and external parties?
If yes, then Selection Committee is looking for you!
As a school, we’re in the fortunate position to be able to select our students, based on their affinity for the Hospitality Industry and their affinity for our programme(s). HTH Selection Committee ensures a consistent and smooth Selection process, which each selection season (October to June) takes 1,250+ motivated candidates through a hospitable Candidate Journey to ensure that we have the right students in our classrooms, both from the HTH perspective and from the individual student’s perspective. Approximately 1 in 3 candidates who apply to us are selected and join us as students.
With appropriate testing and interviewing, over 8 ‘buzzing’ on-campus Selection Days, 4 exciting International Selection Days and 4 smooth Online Selection Weeks, Selection Committee ensures that we fill all cohorts (August, February and IFT) at an appropriate pace with high calibre and appropriately motivated students.
What happens during Selection has an important impact on the HTH Journey for both Students and Lecturers/Instructors, from classroom dynamics to Year 1 success rates and all the way through to our Bachelor Return Rate, which in turn impacts our Rankings.
As a Selection Committee Member (for a period of 2 years, with an option to renew for a further 2 years), you’re allocated 40 hours per block to support individual Selection Days (typically 4 on-campus Days and, if desired, 1 International Selection Day per Committee Member) and the overall Selection process. As a Committee, members meet to tackle strategic questions, such as Diversity, problem solve any issues, discuss (data) insights and agree improvement initiatives and, as an individual, you take responsibility for pushing individual initiatives forward. On-campus and International Selection Days are on Saturdays, which you compensate through ‘Time for Time’, which gives you extra flexibility in terms of taking leave.
The Selection Committee brings together staff from different areas of HTH, so that together the Committee covers the necessary skillset and perspectives. The Committee operates in close alignment and cooperation with many different areas within HTH, but most notably Recruitment, Admissions and Events/F&B. The Committee is ably supported by 2 highly motivated Selection Student Assistants and, as and when appropriate, by a LYCar student on Internship.
To apply, please submit your motivation letter to the attention of Paul Griep through the link below, including, where relevant the following:
· Your passion for and experience in Selection (within HTH and/or prior to HTH)
· Your interest and experience in process improvement
· Your interest and experience in cross-team processes
· Your interest and experience in data analysis and data-driven insight/decision making
We’re looking for complimentary skillsets within Selection Committee, so you shouldn’t feel that you need to cover all the above to apply.
We look forward to receiving your application 9 July latest.
