Armenian senior managers received certificates from the American Restaurant Association
Armenian hospitality senior managers received certificates issued by the American National Restaurant Association. The awarding ceremony took place at the USAID/CAPS Office.
In October 2010, the CAPS Project (http://www.caps.am//) and the Armenian Restaurant Association had hosted a Hospitality and Restaurant Management training course; the American National Restaurant Association (NRA) Educational Foundation’s ManageFirst Program. The training was conducted by Dr. Mahmood A. Khan, Ph.D., R.D., F.M. P., a Professor at the Department of Hospitality & Tourism Management at Virginia Tech / Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the USA, who was invited to Armenia for the 4th time.
According to the CAPS Workforce Development Specialist Anush Shahverdyan, “This time we provided a unique opportunity for senior-level managers of the hospitality industry to provide exposure to international experience and an opportunity to evaluate their knowledge vis-à-vis American National Restaurant Association criteria. Now, they can continue studies to qualify to become internationally certified trainers and spread the obtained knowledge in the field”.
