Careers
A career in the hospitality industry is a profession. Those who acquire professional credentials distinguish themselves as being highly skilled, trained, motivated and career-minded. In an industry that now employs more than 10.2 million people, including 600,000 higher-paying management positions, full- and part-jobs opportunities are expected to expand even further by 2005.
And think of the possibilities! Work for hotels, restaurants, private clubs, convention centers or cruise lines. Imagine a career as a front-line manager, supervising a health club or a front desk. Mid-level management careers include executive chefs, kitchen managers, catering directors, reservations managers, convention services managers or security directors. With the right skills and education, upper management careers include directors of sales and marketing, food and beverage directors or even CEO/business owners! And these jobs are available close to home or in such diverse locales as Paris, Cancun or Monte Carlo.Classes
