The Hospitality Training Institute of Michigan will launch its next round of Hospitality Business Management courses in Marquette in January 2025.
The 12-week comprehensive skills course is a $2,500 value that is offered at no cost to the first 2,000 program registrants.
HTIM will also provide a $500 incentive to each graduate who successfully completes the course.
January class offerings are still open for residents, so interested students are encouraged to apply at HTIM.com/stepup.
“The hospitality industry is often viewed as a career steppingstone, and many people aren’t aware of leadership opportunities in restaurants and lodging.” said Hunter Eagle, HTIM graduate and general manager of Mammoth Distilling. “HTIM’s course opens doors to opportunities based on individual interests, whether that’s stepping up into a full-time role or discovering a knack for managing teams.”
Upon completion of the course, participants will earn nationally recognized certifications, including ServSafe Manager certifications and national Hospitality Supervisor certifications, complete trainings related to unconscious bias, mental health, sexual harassment, and more to master the skills to be a leader in the industry. Previously, HTIM piloted this program to about 100 students and with the support of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Development, has expanded the program to reach additional Michiganders looking for a rewarding and high-paying career.
“HTIM is providing an unprecedented opportunity for residents to launch or advance their careers in hospitality,” said Matthew Vogel, HTIM instructor. “Graduates of the program have found value in the coursework, growing their professional network and even receiving promotions and job opportunities not available to them before the course.”
Michigan’s hospitality industry creates nearly $44.6 billion in annual sales and is the state’s second-largest private employer of nearly half a million residents. As an integral part of Michigan’s economy, the HTIM program provides an avenue for employees to grow and develop, building a stronger workforce here in Michigan.
The last day to register for the class is Friday, December 20 at 5 p.m. Interested students and employers are encouraged to register for the class session of their choosing or find more information about the HTIM Hospitality Business Management course by visiting HTIM.com/stepup.
