ABSTRACT

Ensuring that learning outcomes align with employer expectations has always been a concern, but it is becoming more critical due to globalization, technological advancements, and diversity in student needs. This presents a challenge for universities to consistently develop learning strategies that contribute to competency acquisition. The research proposes a learning framework that integrates with the strategic plan of our organization to guide undergraduates in acquiring an expected level of relevant hospitality competencies. The framework involves a tailored process where students discover, reflect, and experience real-world situations to gain the necessary competencies. The study was conducted longitudinally on three cohorts, considering gender, cohort, and other job interest-related variables, to ensure all students reach the expected level of competencies. This approach helps universities develop strategies that align with employer expectations, provide students with practical experience, and ensure all students acquire the necessary competencies for success in their careers.

摘要

确保学习成果符合雇主的期望一直是一个问题，但由于全球化、技术进步和学生需求的多样性，它变得越来越重要。这对大学提出了一个挑战，即持续制定有助于获得能力的学习策略。该研究提出了一个学习框架，该框架与我们组织的战略计划相结合，以指导本科生获得预期水平的相关酒店管理能力。该框架涉及一个量身定制的过程，学生可以在其中发现、反思和体验现实世界的情况以获得必要的能力。该研究在三个队列中纵向进行，考虑了性别、队列和其他与工作兴趣相关的变量，以确保所有学生达到预期的能力水平。这种方法有助于大学制定符合雇主期望的战略，为学生提供实践经验，并确保所有学生获得在职业生涯中取得成功所必需的能力。
