The Somerset West-based institution will host annual open days, providing prospective students with first-hand experience of campus life. Those attending can engage with faculty, tour facilities and gain insights into the academic environment and connect with the college community.
The academy’s Job Shadowing Programme targets Grade 11, Grade 12 and gap-year students interested in exploring the events and hospitality sector. The three-day immersive experience offers behind-the-scenes access to The Aleit Group’s business operations. Participants will observe event planning, coordination and operational logistics under professional guidance. The programme aims to provide real-world insight into the creativity and precision required in this dynamic industry, helping students identify career interests.
Designed for high-school learners and gap-year students exploring tertiary education pathways, the annual Creative Winter Workshop provides a practical introduction to hospitality and events.
It combines industry exposure with professional development, focusing on building confidence and refining presentation skills. Interactive sessions and hands-on activities help participants understand industry requirements while developing essential life skills. These include personal development, etiquette training, professional dress-code guidance, party planning, mocktail workshops and event styling.
