Dual Education Agreement Signed with The Ritz-Carlton

MNU hosted a formal ceremony to sign a dual education agreement between the “Tourism” and “Hospitality” programs and The Ritz-Carlton, Astana. The partnership anchors a practice-oriented learning module: students undergo selection, internships, and rotations across hotel departments under manager mentorship, while employers help update cases and assess skills. SDG alignment: SDG 8—employment growth and skill development in the service industry; SDG 17—long-term university-business cooperation; SDG 1—expanding pathways to quality jobs. Ceremony outcomes: internship areas agreed (front office, housekeeping, F&B, events), and requirements on occupational safety and service standards outlined. Next steps: announce competitive selection, finalize practice schedules, appoint mentors, and embed joint rubrics for assessing soft and hard skills in courses.
