Newport World Resorts' ALT welcomes 56 new scholars
in four-month hospitality programs

The Academy for Leisure and Tourism (ALT), the education arm of Newport World Resorts, welcomed 56 scholars last July for a four-month training course designed to prepare them for careers in the hospitality and tourism industry.

The scholars comprise the sixth batch of ALT’s Food and Beverage Services NC II program and the second batch of its Housekeeping NC II program. Both TESDA-accredited courses respond to the hospitality industry’s demand for skilled and professionally trained talent. This year alone, ALT opened more than 200 scholarship opportunities for both programs.

The Food and Beverage Services NC II program prepares students for careers in restaurant and hotel operations through training in food and beverage service, table setting, guest relations, and dining operations. The Housekeeping NC II program equips trainees with competencies in room preparation, housekeeping services, and linen and laundry operations.

Both programs are taught by experienced hospitality professionals from Newport World Resorts and combine classroom instruction with hands-on learning in hotel environments. Students gain practical exposure across the integrated resort's global hotel brands, including Manila Marriott Hotel, Hotel Okura Manila, Hilton Manila, Sheraton Manila Hotel, and Holiday Inn Express Manila. The Housekeeping NC II program is offered in partnership with Holiday Inn Express Manila.

Upon completing the program and passing the required TESDA assessment, graduates earn a National Certificate II qualification that can open opportunities across the hospitality industry. Many graduates have secured employment within Newport World Resorts and its global hotel brands, a testament to the academy’s consistently strong employment rate since the program's inception.

Classes are conducted at the Academy for Leisure and Tourism on the 2F Horizon Centre, Newport World Resorts, where learners are supported with modern training facilities, professional uniforms, and training kits.
