International Student of the Year

Winner: Sunday Mishu, Advanced Diploma in Hospitality

Training provider: International College of Advanced Education

When Sunday Mishu decided to embark on a journey of learning within the hospitality industry he didn’t realise the passion it would ignite in him to strive to be the best in his field.

As a first step into the industry, Sunday undertook a Certificate IV in Hospitality, closely followed by an Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and on the job learning.

Sunday’s passion lies in bartending and he is currently employed at the Mindil Beach Casino Resort where he is a senior bartender. Sunday’s ultimate goal is to one day become a food and beverage director at a five-star hotel.

“The reason I chose this industry and training pathway was my passion for making drinks and creating memorable experiences for patrons in regards to food, beverage and overall service,” Sunday said.

Sunday’s bartending skills were recognised when he was nominated for Hospitality NT’s Bartender of the Year award.
