Note: 19 of MCC’s 65 Hospitality Management graduates earned a degree or certificate from the Hotel Management track/option.

* The 40 annual regional completions represent a supply of 15.2 % new hotel mgt trained workers produced locally against an estimated annual demand of 264 openings.

10-year aging out projection: 16 % are approaching retirement age

** This suggests that in this occupational group, about 84.8 % of hotel mgt-related jobs may go unfilled each year in the region due to an insufficient number of graduates produced locally.
