Hospitality and Tourism Jobs at the Forefront

British Columbia will have a shorted of nearly 65,000 hospitality employees by 2025.

This is good news for anyone considering building a career in the hospitality industry. But that is by 2025. What about now?

The coming Winter Olympics in 2010 will certainly be a hoped for event which will boost the labour market into record jobs creations. Added to this is the hordes of baby boomers that will leave the work force to become customers themselves in need of the services that the hospitality industry offers.

So how do you prepare for the jobs? Here are some tips from Mike Walmsley of the Employment Paper:

Create a clear path for the job you want in the industry and go for it. Be prepared. Start looking at your own professional and academic development. Look for a school or college that specializes in hospitality management diplomas and job-ready certifications in hospitality to help position you for employment and growth over the long term.

Look for a college with strong co-op program where you will have the opportunity to test your new academic foundations and hone your skills to develop professionally as well as academically.Skilled workers and experienced supervisor sand managers will be at the forefront to take advantage of the continued growth in the hospitality sector.

So you guys out there who are still unsure where your career is going, you might wanna consider this career path.
