In 1966, when Rai Bahadur MS Oberoi, Founder Chairman, The Oberoi Group established The Oberoi School of Hotel Management (OSHM) or The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) as it is now known, he recognised that the key to his philosophy of hotel keeping would be carefully selected and groomed managers who shared his obsession for guest satisfaction. In order to achieve this objective, he established The Oberoi School of Hotel Management as a corporate institution of learning, where young people could be groomed through a combination of academic instruction and comprehensive on-the-job experience.
Today, the Management Programme at The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development is considered amongst the best in Asia and is a benchmark for excellence within the hospitality industry. The programme is designed toprovide an opportunity to associates to grow personally and professionally. Associates are groomed through a combination of academic study and comprehensive on-the-job training. The objective of the programme is to develop the next generation of managers who will continue to practice and nurture the organisation’s people-focused approach to achieve the legendary Oberoi service excellence.
