HMG30560 - Hospitality Career Development

(3 units)

This course focuses on best practice methods for professional management of careers and the workforce in the hospitality industry. Talent management is a key component for success in this segment. The importance of learning cross-cultural aspects of professional communication in individual and group contexts is emphasized. Students survey the wide variety of workforce and talent management needs and techniques in the hospitality industry. In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-World experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 80 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor. (International students need to meet their international student advisor for details).
