HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM SPECIALIST HIGH SKILLS MAJOR (SHSM) The Hospitality & Tourism industry is both a global employer, as well as an expanding employment sector in the growing Region of Peel, (Region of Peel finance report, 2012). This SHSM program will produce graduates to help fill the ongoing demand for well-trained or qualified people to become part of the Hospitality & Tourism industry. The Vicinity Jobs Inc. website reports that despite current economic challenges, employment in the service sector continues on its long-term upward trend, growing 2.0 percent since October 2010 and that the subsector experiencing the most growth is accommodation and food services, which has risen by 8.2 percent. The Peel Region is a major area of residential and service industry growth, with an estimated population growth rate of 11% or more than 160,000 more people within the next 9 years (Region of Peel finance Report, 2012). As development moves further north into the new subdivisions being created around Louise Arbour Secondary School, there is a noticeable increase in new restaurants, hotels and catering/banquet halls to support the new residents of these areas. New establishments are opening weekly in North Brampton, including restaurants, grocery stores, and hospitals and catering companies, offering a wide variety of new partners that can provide sector-related experiential opportunities and long term employment for our students. Our program is designed to provide our students with authentic life experiences such as catering and serving lunches in our school restaurant and preparing food for our rapidly expanding school catering business. Experiencing real life work first hand and perhaps will give practical opportunities to determine if this is an area of employment that they would like to pursue following secondary school.
