A career in hotel management has always been an exciting and challenging career option. Unlike many other fields, hotel management has always held lucrative job opportunities and chances to diversify. Now with the advent of new technology, the field has become all the more demanding and lucrative. A hotel management professional must supervise a wide range of tasks, which means they must have a working knowledge of every aspect of a hotel, from the kitchen to the laundry room to dealing with special guests to organizing special events. The job calls for expert management expertise, a great deal of creativity and the ability to work well with other people. Programs that train students for a career in hotel and motel management will offer extensive courses that cover every aspect of hospitality management. Students will learn how hotels, restaurants and motels are organized, the set up of a casino and how cruise ships are structured. They will also learn about food and beverage management, room division management and how to manage various types of front desk operations like check-in and check-out, security and guest complaints. Students will also learn about housekeeping management, inventory, sanitary and safety procedures. Perhaps one of the most important things students will learn is the management of human resources. This includes being familiar with employment laws, job analysis, recruitment, training, dealing with labor unions and assessing employee performance. Students will also learn about supervision skills, effective communication, conflict resolution and team building. Accounting, sales and marketing, and general management skills are also taught. Students will also learn about using management technology and understanding hospitality laws. There is currently an 88% placement rate in the hotel management industry with many graduates finding immediate employment as managers or as human resource directors in casinos and hotels.
