Message from the CEO (SSTH)
Anything But Ordinary
Nepal and Switzerland are both beautiful small countries and both host a multicultural society. In my opinion, being small allows special attention to be paid to the individual. This empathy is the core of cross-cultural competence, the key competence in the 21st century – certainly globally, but especially in the hospitality industry. What is of value to Nepal and to Switzerland is also true for GATE and SSTH. The global hospitality industry is huge and opportunities seem endless, students (and travelers) are often unable to cope with this that is why it is crucial to create an environment where students are enabled to take long term decisions for their life. GATE and SSTH are both small enough to care and big enough to lead. Each one of us is born an individual, unique of its kind. Driven by competition and economies of scale our society has sometimes chosen to standardize; we find restaurant chains, clothes stores and coffee shops around the world that seem to be alike, as if they would follow a common identity. The processes and the communication behavior of companies follow checklists, products are labeled, but while everything may be better, brighter and more varied, it is actually increasingly the same. Often today’s companies and individuals continually compare themselves; the effect is that they become adjusted, but adjustment is just another word for exchangeability! It is the cultural difference that inspires us on our journeys, the vibrating hustle and bustle of an Arab bazaar, the hot and humid air saturated with the smell of Asian food, the sound of silence and the clear starry sky of the desert, or the special crunching of snow under foot on a cold winter’s day: these treasures are unique! Neither SSTH, nor GATE or you as an individual shall ever abandon yourself to an adjustment process; instead of, just by imitating someone else will never get you to the top - merely to the middle. I’d like to encourage you to search for your special talents and gifts by bringing your talents into work and into society, to become valuable, inspirational and incomparable. By using the words of Paolo Coelho, “Be crazy! But learn how to be crazy without being the center of attention. Be brave enough to live different.” Best wishes for your journey!
Dr. Ursula Gehbauer Tichler Chief Executive Officer SSTH Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality Ltd.

Message from the CEO (GATE)
Welcome message from the CEO (GATE) I am very delighted to welcome you at GATE, an award winning, forward-thinking academy that has become an integral part of the world’s most dynamic and largest industry, Tourism & Hospitality. Having achieved world-class recognition at the “Worldwide Hospitality Awards in Paris – 2011” and also having won the National Award for “Food Safety” awarded by the government of Nepal, I certainly can say that our academy has an abundance of educational wealth to offer. GATE – Global Academy of Tourism & Hospitality Education offers a preferred platform to those who aspire to build their career in the global job market. This is aided by our passion for quality, plus an association with the world-famous Swiss School SSTH (Swiss School of Tourism & Hospitality), which has produced thousands of successful hospitality leaders presently working around the globe. SSTH also has a 45+ year track record in hospitality education excellence. In addition, the GATE degree has been already recognized as a Bachelors Degree equivalent by “Tribhuvan University”, the largest and most historic national university of Nepal. Nepal’s location between two neighboring economic giants, China and India, certainly lends enormous potential to the country in terms of tourism and hospitality. The industry has always been a leading source of foreign income and a medium to improve the lives of those involved. Considering strong regional growth and a partnership with Swiss hospitality education experts, there is no doubt that GATE will continue its growing leadership role in the Nepal hospitality education space. The hospitality industry requires leaders who are conscious of quality and serve with their heart. These leaders must also be wise and perfectly blend focus, up-to-date knowledge and skills with a down-to-earth attitude. All these qualities ensure a great future in the world’s largest and fastest growing industries. With the present global industry outlook, it is clear that the market is still in great need for hospitality professionals, hence promising a variety of global opportunities for successful graduates. One needs to develop uncompromising quality, a high leavel of professionalism and respect for others, along with discipline, commitment and passion for what they do in order to pave the way towards a dream career. GATE is committed to nurturing these values and supplementing relevant learning by providing access to International faculty and lecturers of 7 nationalities. I take immense pleasure in congratulating all our students for choosing the world’s most fascinating industry and selecting GATE to unleash their hidden potential. Respectfully,
Khem R. Lakai, CHE Founder / Chief Executive Officer GATE Global Academy of Tourism & Hospitality Education

“Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.” GATE is not only a college for me; it has been part of my life. All staffs, faculty members, teachers and students are like family members because they care you. In this present scenario, being the choice of students GATE has been able to control the draining of millions of rupees out of the country in the search of quality education. I am thankful to the C.E.O. Mr. Khem Raj Lakai, the dynamic hospitality personnel for providing ample leadership opportunities through investing, directing and motivating students driven events. After the successful completion of ssth-higher diploma, I have an edge over the co-workers who were graduated from China, India and Sri Lanka working with me which denotes not only in Nepal we have ability to compete in international level. Thanks GATE for breaking mine glass-ceiling and making me problem solver, path finder and initiator. Now, I love being in competitive environment. I now feel comfort when I am out of comfort zone. Proud to be Gatiens……Because I Care …..!!!!!!! Sudarshan Poudel GATE-SSTH 3rd Batch Topper F & B Team Leader Qatar Airways I couldn’t help but laugh the first time I read the mission statement of GATE: “Our Students are our most valuable assets.” However, over due course of time I realized that this was not just limited to words and that GATE really is focused on fulfilling its goal. The stress on developing a healthy attitude has been the most important lesson I have learned and I know is what matters the most in the hospitality industry all over the world. Leadership opportunities and problem solving skills are the key features to attain success at GATE, which has managed to create its own niche in the short span of time since its inception. I feel proud to say that I am a GATE product and feel confident to face whatever challenges may come my way. I now strongly believe that leaders are those who dare to lead. I hope GATE upholds its values and retains its pinnacle position in imparting knowledge on hospitality management in the future.

Story of Ms. Kamana Katuwal was published by Employment Fund and the project called ‘Training and Employment’ was supported by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and World Bank. Kamana Katuwal is from remote village in Dolkha. Due to her extreme poor financial situation and very large family of fourteen Kamala couldn’t continue her education after 10th grade. Her father got married twice and she has six brothers and four sisters who are unemployed or going to school. One day she came to know about the free training of Barista (Coffee Making Course) through her friend and she applied for it. After going through the tough competition she got selected for the Barista Training. In the beginning she felt little difficult to follow the course as it was in English Language and most of the technical words were in Italian Language but slowly she picked up as practical training started. After successfully completing the training she had an opportunity to face the interview in one of the most famous coffee shop called ‘The Himalayan Beanz’. With her world class training at GATE and hard work she got selected for the job. It was not very easy in the begging of her job as the coffee shop was situated in Thamel and she had to deal with foreign customers. And then she was transferred from Thamel branch to Civil Mall. Then she realized that the importance of English Language in Hospitality sector. Now she is extremely happy to work in such an amazing Industry. She is very passionate about the coffee Industry. She loves interacting with customers and feels wonderful to serve the different verities of Coffee. (Preparing Coffee with Style) She is also satisfied with her salary and feels proud to help her parents and other members of her family. She genuinely thinks her life has completely changed from the Barista Training and thankful to GATE College and most of all Employment Fund Secretariat, Helvetas Nepal and other donor Agencies for their support. After getting employment as a Barista, many of her friends and relatives who has not completed their schooling are now hopeful and encouraged and hopeful that the would also like to join the similar programs.

Message from the CEO (SSTH)
Anything But Ordinary
Nepal and Switzerland are both beautiful small countries and both host a multicultural society. In my opinion, being small allows special attention to be paid to the individual. This empathy is the core of cross-cultural competence, the key competence in the 21st century – certainly globally, but especially in the hospitality industry. What is of value to Nepal and to Switzerland is also true for GATE and SSTH. The global hospitality industry is huge and opportunities seem endless, students (and travelers) are often unable to cope with this that is why it is crucial to create an environment where students are enabled to take long term decisions for their life. GATE and SSTH are both small enough to care and big enough to lead. Each one of us is born an individual, unique of its kind. Driven by competition and economies of scale our society has sometimes chosen to standardize; we find restaurant chains, clothes stores and coffee shops around the world that seem to be alike, as if they would follow a common identity. The processes and the communication behavior of companies follow checklists, products are labeled, but while everything may be better, brighter and more varied, it is actually increasingly the same. Often today’s companies and individuals continually compare themselves; the effect is that they become adjusted, but adjustment is just another word for exchangeability! It is the cultural difference that inspires us on our journeys, the vibrating hustle and bustle of an Arab bazaar, the hot and humid air saturated with the smell of Asian food, the sound of silence and the clear starry sky of the desert, or the special crunching of snow under foot on a cold winter’s day: these treasures are unique! Neither SSTH, nor GATE or you as an individual shall ever abandon yourself to an adjustment process; instead of, just by imitating someone else will never get you to the top - merely to the middle. I’d like to encourage you to search for your special talents and gifts by bringing your talents into work and into society, to become valuable, inspirational and incomparable. By using the words of Paolo Coelho, “Be crazy! But learn how to be crazy without being the center of attention. Be brave enough to live different.” Best wishes for your journey!
Dr. Ursula Gehbauer Tichler Chief Executive Officer SSTH Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality Ltd.

Message from the CEO (GATE)
Welcome message from the CEO (GATE) I am very delighted to welcome you at GATE, an award winning, forward-thinking academy that has become an integral part of the world’s most dynamic and largest industry, Tourism & Hospitality. Having achieved world-class recognition at the “Worldwide Hospitality Awards in Paris – 2011” and also having won the National Award for “Food Safety” awarded by the government of Nepal, I certainly can say that our academy has an abundance of educational wealth to offer. GATE – Global Academy of Tourism & Hospitality Education offers a preferred platform to those who aspire to build their career in the global job market. This is aided by our passion for quality, plus an association with the world-famous Swiss School SSTH (Swiss School of Tourism & Hospitality), which has produced thousands of successful hospitality leaders presently working around the globe. SSTH also has a 45+ year track record in hospitality education excellence. In addition, the GATE degree has been already recognized as a Bachelors Degree equivalent by “Tribhuvan University”, the largest and most historic national university of Nepal. Nepal’s location between two neighboring economic giants, China and India, certainly lends enormous potential to the country in terms of tourism and hospitality. The industry has always been a leading source of foreign income and a medium to improve the lives of those involved. Considering strong regional growth and a partnership with Swiss hospitality education experts, there is no doubt that GATE will continue its growing leadership role in the Nepal hospitality education space. The hospitality industry requires leaders who are conscious of quality and serve with their heart. These leaders must also be wise and perfectly blend focus, up-to-date knowledge and skills with a down-to-earth attitude. All these qualities ensure a great future in the world’s largest and fastest growing industries. With the present global industry outlook, it is clear that the market is still in great need for hospitality professionals, hence promising a variety of global opportunities for successful graduates. One needs to develop uncompromising quality, a high leavel of professionalism and respect for others, along with discipline, commitment and passion for what they do in order to pave the way towards a dream career. GATE is committed to nurturing these values and supplementing relevant learning by providing access to International faculty and lecturers of 7 nationalities. I take immense pleasure in congratulating all our students for choosing the world’s most fascinating industry and selecting GATE to unleash their hidden potential. Respectfully,
Khem R. Lakai, CHE Founder / Chief Executive Officer GATE Global Academy of Tourism & Hospitality Education

“Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.” GATE is not only a college for me; it has been part of my life. All staffs, faculty members, teachers and students are like family members because they care you. In this present scenario, being the choice of students GATE has been able to control the draining of millions of rupees out of the country in the search of quality education. I am thankful to the C.E.O. Mr. Khem Raj Lakai, the dynamic hospitality personnel for providing ample leadership opportunities through investing, directing and motivating students driven events. After the successful completion of ssth-higher diploma, I have an edge over the co-workers who were graduated from China, India and Sri Lanka working with me which denotes not only in Nepal we have ability to compete in international level. Thanks GATE for breaking mine glass-ceiling and making me problem solver, path finder and initiator. Now, I love being in competitive environment. I now feel comfort when I am out of comfort zone. Proud to be Gatiens……Because I Care …..!!!!!!! Sudarshan Poudel GATE-SSTH 3rd Batch Topper F & B Team Leader Qatar Airways I couldn’t help but laugh the first time I read the mission statement of GATE: “Our Students are our most valuable assets.” However, over due course of time I realized that this was not just limited to words and that GATE really is focused on fulfilling its goal. The stress on developing a healthy attitude has been the most important lesson I have learned and I know is what matters the most in the hospitality industry all over the world. Leadership opportunities and problem solving skills are the key features to attain success at GATE, which has managed to create its own niche in the short span of time since its inception. I feel proud to say that I am a GATE product and feel confident to face whatever challenges may come my way. I now strongly believe that leaders are those who dare to lead. I hope GATE upholds its values and retains its pinnacle position in imparting knowledge on hospitality management in the future.

About Kamana Katuwal
Story of Ms. Kamana Katuwal was published by Employment Fund and the project called ‘Training and Employment’ was supported by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and World Bank. Kamana Katuwal is from remote village in Dolkha. Due to her extreme poor financial situation and very large family of fourteen Kamala couldn’t continue her education after 10th grade. Her father got married twice and she has six brothers and four sisters who are unemployed or going to school. One day she came to know about the free training of Barista (Coffee Making Course) through her friend and she applied for it. After going through the tough competition she got selected for the Barista Training. In the beginning she felt little difficult to follow the course as it was in English Language and most of the technical words were in Italian Language but slowly she picked up as practical training started. After successfully completing the training she had an opportunity to face the interview in one of the most famous coffee shop called ‘The Himalayan Beanz’. With her world class training at GATE and hard work she got selected for the job. It was not very easy in the begging of her job as the coffee shop was situated in Thamel and she had to deal with foreign customers. And then she was transferred from Thamel branch to Civil Mall. Then she realized that the importance of English Language in Hospitality sector. Now she is extremely happy to work in such an amazing Industry. She is very passionate about the coffee Industry. She loves interacting with customers and feels wonderful to serve the different verities of Coffee. (Preparing Coffee with Style) She is also satisfied with her salary and feels proud to help her parents and other members of her family. She genuinely thinks her life has completely changed from the Barista Training and thankful to GATE College and most of all Employment Fund Secretariat, Helvetas Nepal and other donor Agencies for their support. After getting employment as a Barista, many of her friends and relatives who has not completed their schooling are now hopeful and encouraged and hopeful that the would also like to join the similar programs. Finally, she would like to request to EFS to continue to support similar training and Employment Programs so more and more people like her could be benefited.
