June 2, 2010Hospitality Training Association (HTA) CEO Phillip Charlton has been appointed as an Adjunct Professor at the
University of Queensland’s School of Tourism, cementing his commitment to the state’s education industry.
Adjunct Professors are people recognised by their peers in the profession, business community or public sector as persons of distinction and high achievement.
They bring their industry perspective to interactions with the university’s staff and students.
Charlton says he is honoured to be appointed to the role and hopes to be able to further promote the state’s education, hospitality and tourism sector.
“Through my work at HTA, I also understand the importance of helping young people develop the skills they need for a successful future in the hospitality industry,” he says.
“Each year, hundreds of students from across Australia and the world come to HTA to study because of our close industry links, experienced trainers, up-to-date courses and state-of-the-art facilities.”
HTA is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 1983 by the hospitality industry to service the recruitment, training and employment needs of the industry.
It provides industry-relevant training and apprenticeships to domestic and international students each year, helping to address the Australian skills shortage and providing internationally-recognised qualifications to launch careers.
