Career opportunities in the hospitality industry are many and varied. There is a documented need for well-educated hospitality professionals in the Coastal Georgia area as well as in the state and nation. Tourism has increased significantly and is a major component of the nation’s economy. Positions are available in resorts and hotels. By providing the skills, knowledge, and hands-on training, hospitality positions provide valuable opportunities to get ahead in the resort and hospitality industry. Convention and event planners, front desk managers, or general managers are examples of positions in the Hospitality industry.
