The hospitality business is continuously growing due to heavy inflow of the tourist in India.
Being a service related industry it has to depend on the human as workforce. Hotel Management institutes are the major contributor of this workforce in India. Classroom training alone is not sufficient to develop the competencies required by the hotel industry. In India hotel management students are sent to the industry as Industrial Trainee to gain the experience and to get them acquainted with the hotel industry operation techniques. Past research has identified that there are differences of career perception and attitude of the student once they return from the Industrial training. This study is to identify those career factors and examine the differences of the career perception of the student who have already undergone the training with those who are yet to experience. Analysis of the questionnaire revealed that there is a change in attitude and the perceptions of the students about the industry where they are going to establish their career are affected negatively after the completion of the industrial training. The research work will try to identify the potential reasons to those affected career factors and recommend the stakeholders the areas which need to be attended.
