Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM

Are you passionate about making customers happy? Do you love marketing and promotion? Do you want to use your energy and creativity to help people have a great time at resorts, hotels and other attractions? If you do, this program is for you.

Through this multidisciplinary two-year diploma program, you will learn all the skills you need to manage change and improve the experience of customers across the hospitality, tourism and leisure industry. By the time you graduate, you’ll be an expert in customer care, marketing and promotion, and you’ll have the all-around skills you need to provide the first-rate service people expect from today’s hotels, resorts and attractions. Your hands-on industry externship will help prepare you to work in all these areas – hospitality, tourism and leisure – and make you the kind of multi-talented graduate the industry needs.

Best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to study at our state-of-the-art restaurant and learning facility at 215 King Street East. Here you will have the invaluable opportunity to put theory into practice as you work alongside emerging top talent and serve a public of discerning urban diners at Canada’s new centre for food culture.

You will also build your skills during a unique, 7-week industry externship in your final semester, which will be a huge advantage when you start your career.

ARTICULATION AGREEMENT

Earn a diploma and bachelor’s degree in four years. Graduates of our Hotel Management, Food and Beverage Management, Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure, and Special Events Planning diploma programs may be eligible to enter the third year of the Hospitality Operations Management degree program.
