3 December 2009

Portsmouth, NH -- The Indiana University Department of Tourism, Conventions and Event Management, on the campus of Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Newmarket International, Inc., the leading provider of sales and catering solutions for the global hospitality industry today announced a partnership to bring Delphi® to the campus of IUPUI.

The hospitality industry is constantly searching for qualified candidates who have the knowledge and experience to start booking business on day one. By adding Delphi training to the Department of Tourism, Conventions and Event Management program, students will be better prepared to secure employment and compete in today's market place.

Students will receive the same Delphi sales and catering software training that leading hotel brands use to train their teams. Students will leverage Newmarket's eLearning courses to learn about Delphi through a combination of real-world scenarios, demonstration videos, try it exercises, and quiz questions.

"The Lodging Operations students are enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn Delphi," described Susie Benko, Lecturer, Indiana University. "Having shown them job postings that state, "Experience with the Delphi sales and catering a plus" helped them realize this is an important resume builder. It is great to teach skills that will give them a competitive edge in the competitive workplace."

"Newmarket's eLearning courses provide a rare opportunity for students to gain industry experience without leaving the classroom," states Sean O'Neill, Chairman and CEO, Newmarket International, Inc. "We are excited to have IUPUI join the Delphi in the Classroom program and provide these students with a competitive edge."
