If you enjoy working with people and wish to grow with your profession,
the Chaffey High School Hotel Management Academy could be the path for
you. The openings of the Ontario Convention and Event Center, Ontario Mills
Shopping and Entertainment Complex, the Ontario Raceway and the expansion
of the Ontario International Airport have all added up to create a huge
demand for qualified workers. In an effort to fill this need and to provide
Chaffey students with increased career opportunities, the CHS Hotel Management
Academy was developed.
The Academy is designed to provide you with marketable skills to help you gain employment in the fastest growing industry in our area. Students who sign up for the Academy program, the second semester of their freshman year, will complete a three year program relevant to the hotel/resort industry and relating recreation occupations. Upon
graduation from high school, Academy members will have the choice of entry?level
employment within the hospitality industry (promotion to mid?level positions
requires work experience and on?the-job?training), or you may continue
your education at Chaffey Community College in their degreed Hotel
Management
Program. You may also choose to continue your education at a state college
or university, or select entry?level employment while taking college courses.
Whatever your post graduate plans, you will graduate from high school with
the possibility of a minimum of 12 college units from Chaffey Community
College!
Academy
classes include Keyboarding, Computer Applications, Business Management,
and Presentation Skills. Students will prepare resumes and practice for
their job interview in Career Planning class and will also experience the
"front desk" in a live office lab. Industry speakers, field trips and hotel
tours will round out your Academy experience and will provide you with
a first?hand look at the hotel, entertainment, and travel industries. Upon
successful completion of the Academy program, you will take your Academy
portfolio and Hotel Management Certificate with you to your Academy sponsored
employment interview.
