LAUSANNE, Switzerland -Tuesday 2 June 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- After
two months of campus closure and confinement, EHL Group announces the
reopening of its campuses and draws a positive assessment of the actions
taken to deal with the crisis, as well as its leadership in the world
of hospitality education in times of crisis.
In line with
the easing of confinement measures, EHL announces its progressive
reopening during the month of June. In order to ensure the best
conditions for the return to the campus, the School has put in place a
complete disinfection plan and has reviewed all its teaching methods,
technologies and on-site facilities. The Group can thus further
consolidate its position as world leader and plans to considerably
increase its digital offering with its new distance learning
capabilities. An assessment has also been drawn up, highlighting the
excellent work and collaboration of all employees and students, enabling
students to maintain an optimal work rhythm, and who will emerge from
this period with a multitude of new skills. The outstanding efforts of
the entire EHL community have also enabled the Group to help various struggling communities, such as SMEs around the world, students in difficulty or underprivileged communities.
Managing the Covid-19 crisis: Ready for a digital future
During this
period, the true value of the Group was revealed, thanks to its three
campuses that have shown solidarity and resilience, its Innovation Hub
that continues to drive the industry forward, its Alliance that brings
together the biggest names in the hospitality world, its outstanding
consultants and, above all, its unique students who are its greatest
pride. In total, more than 7,000 hours of courses have been given online
since the beginning of the confinement, with close to a hundred
professors who had to switch their entire programs to distance learning
in just a few days. "A feat as great as the stakes, which was made
possible thanks to the extraordinary work carried out by all the
academic, technical and support teams", declared Michel Rochat, CEO of
EHL Group. Campus visits, selection interviews, career fairs and
industry meetings are also among the activities that have been virtually
adapted to ensure excellence and to continue to honor EHL's role as the
world's leading hospitality management school. Today, EHL boasts an
unrivalled digital capacity for a hospitality management school,
heralding a multitude of future innovations that will leverage these new
technologies.
