Employees working in the Restaurants and Food/Beverage Services pathway perform a variety of tasks to maintain operations and promote guest services in eating and drinking establishments.
Employees in the Travel and Tourism pathway focus on the development, research, packaging, promotion, and delivery of a traveler’s experiences. There is a broad range of jobs in this pathway. Employees may be involved in developing a heritage area for the enjoyment and education of visitors, creating guide books, planning trips and events, managing a customer’s travel plans or overseeing a huge urban convention center.
