Training Programs at RIHM

At Rise Institute of Hotel Management (RIHM), Kolkata, we strongly believe that hospitality cannot be mastered inside a classroom alone. A successful hotel professional is developed through a perfect balance of academic learning and practical industry exposure.

To ensure our students graduate with confidence, professional skills, and real-world experience, RIHM offers a progressive training pathway consisting of Casual Training (CT), Industrial Training (IT), and On-the-Job Training (OJT). Each stage has a unique purpose and is designed to prepare students for successful careers in India's leading hospitality brands as well as international opportunities.

Casual Training (CT)

Learn While You Practice

Casual Training (CT) is an introductory practical training program conducted alongside regular classroom studies. Unlike full-time internships, students attend training for only a few hours during selected days without affecting their academic schedule.

This training allows students to experience the real hospitality environment from the beginning of their course while continuing their theoretical education at RIHM.

Students are placed in reputed 4-Star and 5-Star hotels, where they observe hotel operations, interact with guests, and develop professional confidence under industry supervision.

Key Features

• Practical exposure while continuing regular classes

• Flexible training schedule

• Conducted in reputed 4-Star & 5-Star hotels

• Early industry exposure

• Hands-on learning from hospitality professionals

• Improves confidence and workplace discipline

• Develops customer service skills

• Helps students understand hotel culture before full-time internships

Objective

The primary objective of Casual Training is to bridge classroom learning with practical exposure from the very beginning of the course, helping students become industry-ready through continuous hands-on experience.

Industrial Training (IT)

Experience the Complete Hotel Operation

Industrial Training (IT) is a mandatory academic component of the diploma program where students undergo full-time practical training in leading hospitality establishments for 3 to 6 months.

During this period, students become part of the hotel's operational team and receive systematic exposure to all major hotel departments through departmental rotations.

Students learn how different departments coordinate with one another to deliver exceptional guest experiences while understanding professional standards followed in luxury hotels.

• Food Production (Kitchen)

• Food & Beverage Service

Objective

Industrial Training helps students transform classroom knowledge into practical skills while understanding the complete functioning of a hotel. It prepares students for professional careers by exposing them to real operational environments and industry expectations.

On-the-Job Training (OJT)

Master One Department Like a Professional

On-the-Job Training (OJT) is an advanced stage of professional training where students focus exclusively on one specialized department based on their career interests.

Instead of rotating across departments, students work continuously within a single department under the guidance of experienced supervisors and departmental managers. This allows them to develop advanced operational skills and achieve departmental expertise.

Depending on the student's performance, many hospitality organizations also offer attractive stipends and employment opportunities during or after the OJT period.

Specialization Options

Objective

The objective of On-the-Job Training is to develop departmental specialization, improve operational efficiency, strengthen professional confidence, and prepare students for immediate employment in the hospitality industry.
