SHINE KERANIGANJ

The hospitality management has a vast scope of operation at present time here in Bangladesh and abroad, considering all the sectors of hospitality - hotels, resorts, restaurants, banquets, airlines and so on. Bangladesh has a clear setback in this sector due to insufficiency in formal training and education on hospitality management. Thus the inception of SHINE is a pure visionary in terms of contributing the nation by creating skilled and efficient manpower from our motherland, who will serve and shine globally.
