The Ascott Group (Ascott) has officially opened a new global hospitality training centre in Singapore called Ascott Centre for Excellence (ACE). The event was officiated by Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence.
ACE trains Ascott’s 5,000 employees located in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Gulf region to support its global expansion. Besides Ascott’s proprietary programmes, ACE is the only training centre in Singapore to offer Workforce Development Agency’s full range of Hotel and Accommodation Services programmes. This full range of hospitality programmes will be opened to the Singapore public, making Ascott the first and only company to do so. The programmes, which will be available from October 2008, range from Certificate and Advance Certificate to Diploma level.
