Development of a Hospitality Management Program, in the East Kootenay Region Of
1 Development of a Hospitality Management Program, in the East Kootenay Region of British Columbia (Canada), to Address the Employment Needs of the Region Abstract College of the Rockies (Canada), guided by its strategic initiatives, explored the potential of introducing a two-year Hospitality Management Diploma program in Invermere, British Columbia. After a successful feasibility study, the program was developed and introduced during the Spring semester of 2018. The program content is aligned with the provincial core curriculum for Hospitality Management and developed in collaboration with local Hospitality industry inputs. The distinctiveness of the program lies in its design and structure, focused on regional industry employment needs and includes a 500-hour Co-operative education semester to further enhance students’ employability skills and job-readiness for the Hospitality industry. Key words Industry Employability Partnership Collaboration Education Development 2 Introduction Job-ready graduates as well as filling employment gaps are essential focus areas and desired outcomes for tertiary education institutions. College of the Rockies (COTR), British Columbia (BC), Canada explored the local Hospitality industries’ needs to design an academic program to do just that. The Kootenay Regional Skills Training Plan (2013) indicates the demand for workers to increase from 78 560 in 2012 to 83 240 in 2020, thus predicting a 5.6% increase, as indicated in Figure 1.1 Kootenay Labour Demand and Supply Projections 2012 to 2020. The Kootenay Regional Skills Training Plan (2013) further reveals the shortage of qualified employees in the Tourism and Hospitality industries in the Kootenay region. The region, with an already shortfall of qualified employees, has a projected Tourism and Hospitality employee growth, potentially similar to the 1.6% estimated for the province as well as business development that support the claim of a desired increase of qualified employees. -
