Want a Career That’s Always in Demand? Hospitality Might Be for You

The hospitality industry is one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors, employing over 289 million people globally and contributing 10% to the global GDP. Recognising the vast career potential within this field, SEGi’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (SoHTM) hosted an engaging career talk on 20 November 2025, in collaboration with G Hotel. Titled “Unlocking Diverse Career Paths in Hospitality,” the session provided students with first-hand insights into the dynamic world of hospitality careers.

Industry veteran Thomas Ch’ng, Director of Human Resources at G Hotel, shared his 34 years of expertise, offering a behind-the-scenes look at talent management, career progression, and the importance of adaptability in hospitality. His experience negotiating six collective agreements with the National Union positioned him as a leading authority in workforce development and employment opportunities within the sector. With the hospitality industry projected to create over 126 million new jobs by 2032, sessions like these equip students with the knowledge and confidence to enter a thriving global workforce.
