State program supports local hospitality courses BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com
According to the state’s workforce and development department, hospitality and tourism are responsible for almost 10% of all employment in Michigan, but staffing has lagged since the pandemic. In light of that, the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has expanded a program to reach additional Michiganders looking for a rewarding and high-paying career, the state said. The Hospitality Training Institute of Michigan launched a third round of 2024 hospitality business management courses in Troy and Farmington Hills in July with the support of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. Previously, HTIM piloted this program to about 100 students. Those interested in further exploring potential opportunities within the hospitality industry have the chance to build their skills and certification needs through the HTIM.
