Thinking about a career in hospitality? It’s BIG business in the Coastal Bend region, and no one knows that more than the professionals who work in the industry.
In recent decades, Corpus Christi has ramped up its reputation as a coastal must-visit destination for fellow Texans in landlocked locales looking to get away for a bit as well as road-tripping visitors who hail from neighboring states.
Because of anticipated growth, DMC has created a separate Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Department.
In the Coastal Bend, the Texas Workforce Commission projected an employment increase from 2022 to 2032 of 8.5% for chefs and head cooks, nearly 8% for food service managers and 13.6% for lodging managers, and salaries are competitive as well. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in Texas the median annual salary (MAS) for a chef or head cook is $56,520 while the MAS for a food service manager is $61,310 and $62,000 for a hotel manager in the Lone Star State. According to Visit Corpus Christi, tourism is the second-largest industry sector in the city and employs more than 24,000 people.
Service-minded talent ready to make the most of their skills can now major in the department’s Hospitality and Tourism Management Programs. Additionally, the department is offering two new Occupational Skills Awards (OSAs) in Cook/Baker and Hospitality and Tourism. The Associate of Applied Science degree in Hospitality Management and Level II Certificates have also been updated to Hospitality and Tourism Management with two new classes in Convention and Meeting Management and Dining Room Service.
Del Mar College’s Hospitality Management Program combines tradition with modern innovation, offering students a pathway into a vibrant industry with vast potential. Whether you’re looking to work in hotels, manage events or enter the tourism industry, a hospitality management degree can be your key to a dynamic and fulfilling career.
