Aviation and Hospitality courses for 10, +2 students in Kerala

Every student that is graduating high school in Kerala faces a tough decision – what degree should they pursue; medicine or engineering! What with parental pressure pushing you toward professional courses with assured jobs and societal pressure forcing your parents to do so, you might be led to think there aren't any choices. Dare we say there are plenty!

A career in medicine demands inexhaustible passion to succeed and with only 32,000 odd seats up for grabs in the country and just 3100 in Kerala, the first step itself is a major deterrent. Engineering has crept past its boom with the sheer volume of graduates passing out each year outnumbering the creation of jobs. However, with the economic share of the tertiary sector rising year by year, a host of other fields are positioned to become big time employers with sustained long range growth. Here, we elaborate on two of these industries, aviation and hospitality, with special regard to students in Kerala. Follow the link for more details: http://jetinternationalaviation.com/

The aviation sector in India experienced an unprecedented boom during the mid 2010’s, prompting the foundation of several aviation academies throughout the country. These academies offer various courses related to the industry from in–flight staff and ground staff training to airport management. The following downturn in the field’s economic performance has weeded out many of these quick bloomers, leaving only the most capable ones. The good news is that the sector is set for long term positive growth. According to a report released by the IATA (International Air Transport Association), in January 2015, India is expected to be among the top five domestic travel markets in the world in terms of added passengers per year by 2034. Along with these numbers comes the surety of jobs. Courses on aviation can be taken directly after your 10+2. With the proposed opening of the Kannur international Airport in 2015 and later, the Aranmula Airport there will be creation of about 3000 direct jobs and more than twice as many indirect jobs over the next two years within Kerala itself.

Tourism and hospitality has always been a key sector of the Indian economy and continues to do so. In order to mould graduates who are capable of running a hotel, hospitality management has to focus on several aspects of the job. Students are coached on their soft skills, grooming etiquette and basic food preparation skills. Creating an eye for account management, and improving the ability to increase financial performance are all part of an hotelier’s skill set. With Kerala’s reputation as an international tourist destination, hospitality services have created and continue to create jobs in Kerala without stagnation.    

Aviation and hospitality management courses are offered by several colleges as the two fields go hand in hand; especially in the inbound tourism industry, which thrives in Kerala. Obtaining a diploma in either or both of these fields can be immensely rewarding and continually relevant, opening up a slew of employment opportunities that promise not to dry out anytime soon.
