FDP ON “TRANSFORMING EDUCATION FOR THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR”
Faculty Development Programs (FDP) signify a transformative journey for Educators, Institutions, and Students. Participants emerge with enhanced teaching methodologies, refined research skills, and a deeper understanding of pedagogical innovation. FDPs serve as catalysts for professional growth, institutional advancement, and student success, making them integral to the holistic development of Higher Education.
Faculty Development Programs also play a crucial role in enhancing Faculty Members’ professional development and academic excellence, ultimately benefitting the institutional stakeholders as a whole. FDPs contribute extensively to the quality and relevance of Research and Education, preparing Faculty Members to deliver impactful and up-to-date instructions that prepare students for successful careers in the Hospitality Industry.
