Barber-Scotia Offers New * . Hospitality Management Program Beginning mis year, Barber Scotia Collage will be offering N.C.’s first four-year bachelor’s degree in hospitality management. But what is hospitality manage ment? "It’s managing hotels, restau rants and institutions,” says Joe Behm, a former hotel and res taurant manager who will direct the hospitality management program at Barber-Scotia College. "But it’s also travel and tourism or any work providing services to guests.” Behm says that there are a num ber of two-year programs offered across the state. The difference, he adds, in two-year and four-year programs is the difference in single unit management and multi unit management. Nine out of 10 hospitality ope* rations fail within the first five years because they don’t have the ability in money management, people management, and technical skills,” says Behm, who taught hotel and restaurant management courses at the University of Minnesota at Crookston and Widener University’s School of Hotel and Restaurant Management in Wilmington, Del. “We provide that strong liberal arts background. The need for expertise in things like purchasing and ac counting is great in this business.” The travel and tourism industry, which includes hospitality, is the second largest industry in the coun- - try behind the grocery industry, according to the American Hotel & Motel Association in New York. The travel and tourism industry, employs about one out of every 15 working Americans and accounts for about 10 percent of the goods and services produced in the United States, the AHMA Bays. “There's a big demand for this kind of program because the hos pitality industry is growing so rapidly,” says Behm. “There is a need for qualified management personnel in this industry,” he con tinues, “and the average graduate could expect between five and 10 job offerings. Hospitality is coming of age as professionalism,” Behm says. “It’s been in its infancy, mom and pop organizations. “It took great initiative on the part of Barber-Scotia College as another important market to address. “We’re really fortunate because of our dose proximity to Charlotte, to . be near a rapidly growing industry in that area.” Behm says that he has concen trated for the past month on meet ing with industry and business people in Charlotte and Concord. “They’ve hdped me create the program,” he explains, adding that community response has been out standing. “The people have been really excited, enthused and will ing to hdp.” In addition to hdping with setting Joe Behm ..Program director up the curriculum, local people will serve as an advisory board for the program. “It is most important for me to be able to create an advisory board that will consist of local and regional hospitality managers, local and re gional corporate representatives from the hospitality industry and nationally recognized hospitality educators," Behm says. The 55-course program at Barber Scotia College, according to Behm, which will offer a bachelor’s of science degree, is “not just a cooking school.” The pro^am, in which students will take liberal arts and business courses, will be “reality oriented and emphasize hands-on experience,” says Behm. “Some schools are so idealistic that they don’t get their hands dirty,” muses Beam. He feels the three required internships totalling 350 hours of work, combined with classroom work and the “hands-on” aspect, should make for outstanding candi dates for management positions. “We will be inviting in the com munity so we can practice dining in our restaurant,” he adds. Behm is quick to stress that hospitality management is as much hard work as it is glamour. “The difference between a job and a career is the difference between 40 hours and many more,” he says. “If they’re going to be successful in our industry, they have to make a career of it.” r,M -- —i Be wise!!
