Employer Testimonials

-- Deirdre McGlone, Harvey's Point Hotel

Harvey’s Point Hotel have always had a great rapport with LYIT, its placement students and their graduates. Over the years we have offered work placement opportunities to numerous students from LYIT and found these students to be hard working, committed and interested in all aspects of the hospitality industry. We feel that graduates from LYIT have already had an introduction to the business world outside the classroom, thus bringing their own experience and knowledge to the hotel. We would have no hesitation in recommending recruiting LYIT graduates to other employers.
