Hospitality Employment Trends• Between 2014 and 2024, there is expected to be 941,200 new jobs created in the leisure and
hospitality job sector in the United States (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Holding a certification in hospitality will provide students with a competitive advantage in securing a position within the hospitality sector.
• In a 2012 interview with Amy Hyams, the Commissioner of the International Association of Continuing Education and Training, Hyams expands on how higher education institutions can take advantage of this new type of career and workforce development, how adult students benefit from the existence of stackable professional certificates (Evolllution, 2014).
• According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the Travel and Tourism industry is currently among the largest and fastest-growing industries worldwide, forecasted to support 328 million jobs, or 10 percent of the workforce, by 2022 (World Travel & Tourism Council: Economic Impact, 2012).
• A top 10 industry in the U.S., Travel and Tourism provides one out of eight jobs, with that number increasing at an exponential rate, adding approximately 55,000 jobs per month in 2013 (US Travel Association: US Travel Answer Sheet, March 2013); (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Current Employment Statistics Highlights. August 2013. Released September 6, 2013).
