William Angliss Institute @ SLIIT has also partnered with Resplendent Ceylon, the leading luxury hotel  operator in Sri Lanka, to unveil “The Resplendent Academy by William Angliss Institute at SLIIT”. The  campus, which will commence operations on 14th November, is strategically located at Cape Weligama, a  Relais & Chateaux resort and provides students with first-hand exposure to the sector, allowing them the  chance to experience a challenging and exciting work environment in the process of learning. 

The hospitality and tourism industry is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors in the world,  offering a wide range of career opportunities for qualified and skilled professionals. According to industry  experts, programs such as commercial cookery, travel and tourism management, event management,  hospitality management and patisserie segments will require more trained workers in the coming years  in order to meet the increasing demand in Sri Lanka.
