Hospitality & Tourism Program

With an aging population and a vibrant hospitality and tourism market, there is now even greater career opportunity in these service sectors. What's more, employers recognize skilled, educated individuals as stand-outs among the throngs that flock to these highly visible positions ranging from chefs, to hotel personnel management, to tour guides. The SCCTC Hospitality and Tourism curriculum prepares our students for the workplace, helping them to develop and sharpen the skills they need to secure the job and succeed in their careers.

In this two year program, students learn skills and careers in the travel and tourism industry. Students learn many entry level and managerial skills on-site at local hotels. By learning basic skills in our Springfield hotels, students can transfer their jobs to hotels anywhere in the world, once they have graduated. This is a great program for people who are creative and outgoing.
