Innovative learning company with unique educational concept
NHL Stenden Hospitality Group B.V. (hereafter NHG) is a unique learning company within NHL Stenden. Together with NHL Stenden and Hotel Management School, NHG organises hospitality activities at our locations in Leeuwarden and Emmen. NHG creates a Real World Learning Environment, where students are introduced to practical examples, trends and developments in the international hospitality industry. The business units within NHG are run by students from our Hotel Management School. Thus, theory is directly applied in practice. With this approach, we have been training top professionals and game changers in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years.
Developments
Developments in the sector are happening fast, driven by the accelerated digital transformation resulting from the corona crisis. Sustainability and circularity are also developments with an impact, themes that receive a lot of attention both in the sector and in education. In such a dynamic reality, permanently developing new knowledge is key. For our organization, innovation is essential to maintain or create a position in the rapidly changing market conditions. At NHG, we respond to this and integrate this challenge into education and practice. Students work on these transitions in real-life. Our teaching concept Design Based Education (hereafter DBE) enables us to anticipate the changing world and the challenges around us. The learning environment is aimed at developing a different type of professional; professionals with research and problem-solving skills in an uncertain, complex and permanently changing context.
Our ambitions and challenges
Our ambitions are great. We want to be a trendsetter! This fits with our mission to push boundaries, and develop talent. NHG has drawn up a vision and renewed concept that provides direction for the coming years. Direction in a fast-changing food and beverage world, thus also influencing the educational programme of Hotel Management School. This in combination with a different use of the buildings since COVID-19 and thus also the demand for food & drink from the building users. With the new vision, NHG can contribute to a sustainable world and act in a price-conscious way. This vision gives room for the learning company to do business and realise the Real World Learning educational vision in the best possible way. This vision has been converted into a future-proof hospitality concept. This requires a redesign of the hospitality landscape, a different set-up of the organisation, further shaping Design Based Education within NHG and moving towards result-responsible teams and Servant Leadership as a leadership style.
Your position
As director of NHG, you will build a solid and future-proof organisation that has impact; an innovative learning company for (future) students with a unique educational concept, to become an attractive employer and an industry leader. You are responsible for the integral management of NHG and the implementation of the renewed concept.
