Will Your Degree Get You Hired?

Before you invest in a college education, make sure your degree will give you what you need to start a successful career.

On average, 86% of Glion graduates have a job or multiple offers on graduation day. This placement rate is exceptional in today’s tough job market where ‘66 percent of hiring managers view new college grads ‘as unprepared for the work place’ (Adecco).

So, why do Glion graduates get hired so easily? They stand out from the crowd because they have more of these four essential things:

Experience – Hands-on courses and internships are a perfect way to develop skills, contacts and good references. Glion students learn to manage business operations through hands-on courses in restaurants, facilities and events. Then, they put their skills to the test on internships in top companies around the world for a total of one year of professional experience before graduation.

Reputation – Choosing a reputed program can make a big difference. ‘The average recruiter only spends 6 seconds reviewing an applicant’s resume’ scanning four main areas: job titles & companies, start/end dates and education (Adecco). Glion is ranked among the top 3 hospitality management schools in the world for an international career (TNS, global research, 2013).

Global Perspective – Cultural awareness is an essential quality in this globalized world. On Glion’s campuses in Switzerland and London, our students develop a global mindset with faculty, classmates and industry professionals from around the world.
