Hospitality industry

The dynamic, fast growing and diverse hospitality industry offers a wide range of career choices for people with the right qualifications and skills.

The industry’s major sector, Accommodation and Food Services ­ ie hotels, motels, restaurants, cafes, clubs and take-away is the 7th largest employer in Australia and is expected to continue to expand strongly. Jobs are forecast to grow by 2% a year.

Industry bodies are concerned by the shortage of qualified well trained people. Our courses are designed on the basis of feedback and input from hospitality employers and experts so we deliver valuable training that reflects the needs of industry.
