Brief History The Institute itself was formed out of the need to make available
Culinary Skills Training and Tourism programme available to
Jamaicans, most of who
did not have the necessary qualifications to access Tertiary Education
in Jamaica. Upon successful completion of the WHI programme they are
guaranteed part/ reduced scholarships to attend post-secondary
institutions in the USA and Canada. However, depending on performance, a
full scholarship can be achieved. Since then WHI have transcended
certain academic barriers and have met the criteria of Registration &
Accreditation with the University Council of Jamaica. and today the
institution is a registered tertiary institution offering some
accredited programs.
WHI grew and so did its programmes. The institute now has three
schools, they are:
•  The School of Hospitality
& Tourism Management- Academic programmes 2008 - 2010
The Institute has started the development of a wide range of
Certificates, Diplomas and Associate & Bachelors of Science Degrees.
Some of these program are in collaboration with our International Affiliated
Colleges and Universities.
This was done to meet the growing demand of the Tourism Industry, and to
provide better access to Training and Education for persons working in
the Tourism Industry.
