Training young people for the real world
A DECADE ago, the Ri-Yaz Group had a vision to design an ecosystem that would support the travel and hospitality industry, not just in Malaysia but also globally.
A carefully engineered plan was set in motion, and today, its diverse portfolio boasts a wide range of bespoke brands that compliment and support the travel market, from education to consultancy, retail to food & beverage, and award-winning hotels and resorts in three countries.
Ri-Yaz’s mission is to be recognised as a lifestyle-hospitality brand that is unique and progressive.
All the companies under the Group strive to provide a holistic approach to the hospitality industry from multiple angles.
A robust talent pipeline is required to support these goals, for without the right talent, no vision will be brought to life. And thus, Ri-Yaz College in Penang was born to grow a talent pool of young professionals trained for the real world.
Producing career-ready graduates has always been a central focus in line with Ri-Yaz’s mindset of ‘Play to Win’.
Career paths and skills needed for professional advancements are fostered through a rigorous process of career explorations and preparations.
The dynamic hospitality industry is one that is fulfilling and enriching, and as such, look no further than Ri-Yaz College to jumpstart your hospitality career.
