The Tourism Schools of Portugal have applications open until September 16 for filling the last available vacancies in courses for the next academic year. The training offer is presented as a direct opportunity to enter the hospitality and tourism sector, which continuously seeks qualified professionals.
According to the Professional Insertion Study 2025, 92% of graduates are working or pursuing studies six months after completing their training. Of the total graduates inserted in the labor market, 87% work in the sector they specialized in and 71% found employment in less than a month.
The 12 Hotel and Tourism Schools in the network were subject to an infrastructure, equipment, and learning environments modernization plan, financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan. The investment covered the creation and renovation of kitchen laboratories, individual kitchens, auditoriums, bar and sensory analysis laboratories, in addition to the reinforcement of digital equipment, ICT rooms, and pedagogical furniture.
Carlos Abade, President of Turismo de Portugal, stated that the equipment update allows for strengthening the schools' capacity to prepare increasingly qualified professionals. The school network, internationally certified by the World Tourism Organization, trains annually over 2,500 students in regular courses and provides continuous training to over 35,000 professionals.
