Abstract

The main issues this article tries to address are vocational students' self-development skills. As a part of the tourism and hospitality industry, vocational schools and university students and lecturers are working on how the next generations contribute to supporting the government's aim to have sustainable business growth. Many vocational schools cover hard skills with low attention to students’ soft skills development.

Most of the students were satisfied and rated that this workshop supported their preparation before join to the hotel industry. This article contributes to hotel vocational school literature, especially in soft skill development. Moreover, issues addressed in this article can be an insight for vocational school management.
