workers that the students may land as their job in the future, having a hotel training especially of
the housekeeping, enhances and builds the students knowledge and skills as to what the real
world of hospitality industry is all about. Education and theories learned from school is further

instructors and apply it within the work environment under normal working conditions. OJT
