  9. First: Size Matters!

  11. Second: Jobs Matter!

  12. Hotels are where the jobs are • Full-service hotels can, and do, employ students graduating from every major in The Hospitality College • Graduates communicating back with us say that a majority of students who major in Travel, Tourism and/or Hospitality Management get jobs and have successful careers in hotels • The hotel industry is experiencing a recovery from the recent recession, with a growing number of internships being offered to students and a number of companies again initiating their manager-in-training positions for our graduates

  13. Many people are unaware of the sheer number of employees in varied positions employed in a hotel • Some facts about the Sheraton-Boston Hotel • 530 full-time employees • 58 full-time managers • HR/Training Employees – 5 • Sales/Marketing Employees – 39 • Accounting/Finance Employees – 16

  14. Lodging Industry Trend(Source: STR Global)

  15. Third: Preparation Matters!

  16. What students don’t receive if they major in something other than hotel but then work in a hotel • Hotel Food & Beverage Operations • Hotel Food & Beverage Controls • Front Office Management, with the operation of an advanced property management system embedded in this course • Revenue Management • Property Operations (engineering & housekeeping) • Hotel Internship

  17. In conclusion: If an incoming student thinks they may want to work in a hotel we would advise them to major in Hotel & Lodging rather than in the more general Travel, Tourism & Hospitality.
