Leo Vergara Visits Our Barcelona Headquarters

A productive session on new opportunities for restaurant entrepreneurship talent

Placement International was delighted to welcome Mr. Leo Vergara, Internship Coordinator for the BS Restaurant Entrepreneurship program, to our headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. Our CEO Thomas Riveyran led the session alongside Balamurugan Subramani and Elizabeth Zar, discussing new international opportunities for the program's seniors and alumni. Conversations like this shape real pathways for students. 

What did the Barcelona meeting cover?

The session focused on creating new international pathways for restaurant entrepreneurship students. It was practical and forward-looking throughout.

The discussion covered:

  • New international opportunities for seniors and alumni
  • How placements and support work in practice
  • A shared vision for developing future hospitality leaders

Why do school partnerships matter for students?

Strong school partnerships mean students hear about opportunities early and arrive well prepared. That combination makes a real difference.

According to Cornell University's hospitality research, structured industry connections during study significantly improve long-term career outcomes. Partnerships like this one put that principle to work.

How can students access these opportunities?

Students access them by connecting with our team and exploring the programs that fit their studies. We handle the guidance from there.

Thank you, Mr. Vergara, for a wonderful meeting and for your shared vision. We also interviewed him during the visit, and will be sharing his insights on global hospitality careers very soon. If you are ready to explore your own path, our team is here for you. Start your journey today.
