Industry partnership agreement between LeePrime Group and the Financial University
The Hotel Business programme covers the core principles of management, marketing and sales, and financial management, along with hands-on practice in working with guests and staff. Within the partnership, LeePrime Group offers an innovative educational model built on the teaching methods most in demand today.
The global corporate trend is a turn from the system towards the person. In the digital age, the role of directors and managers in the hotel business will change considerably. Beyond the ability to run processes and systems, they will need to become leaders capable of motivating their teams to realise their full potential and of uniting competences around a shared goal.
The LeePrime Group team consists of experienced experts and practitioners who are able not only to pass on knowledge in an accessible form, but also to help students develop harmoniously in every direction. For the most effective engagement, flexible learning formats are offered: lecture sessions, mastermind groups, business games and case work, all of which build leadership, communication and time-management skills.
Particular attention will be given to the flagship areas:
- hotel development
- operational management
- sales and marketing
- revenue management and budgeting
- HR and communications
- health resort management
- branding and naming
The programme is built on the company's own technologies and innovations and is designed to expand the horizons of a new generation of well-rounded, flexible-thinking professionals. The student's maximum practical involvement in the learning process means that, on completing their studies and defending their diploma, they can apply for a senior manager or middle management position.
The agreement was signed by the co-founder and managing partner of LeePrime Group, Sergey Lee, and by the Vice-Rector for Strategy and Government Relations of the Financial University, Dmitry Alexandrovich Semyonov.
During the meeting, Sergey Lee commented on the goals of the partnership:
"It is important to us that students learn to think like entrepreneurs and understand the finer points of running a hotel business. What matters here is recognising that a business's greatest capital is the collective thinking of its people. That is the direct link between decisions and results. Our goal is to prepare the future leaders of the hospitality industry through an industry partnership with the Financial University."
