Whether you’re looking to connect with people, rekindle your sense of adventure or be at the centre of the action, a career in tourism will take you anywhere you want to go.
And the fastest way to accelerate your career? Education with a destination.
Manitoba is home to many people who have used education to secure their dream job in the tourism and hospitality sector. People like Laniel Smith, co-owner and operator of Marion Street Eatery in Winnipeg, found community and mentorship through Red River College while accelerating her career in tourism.
“I’m really grateful that I took the program,” says Smith. “I was young and looking for an opportunity to learn and to grow in the industry, and the program was a perfect stepping stone for me to do that.”
Sylvie Foidart, tourism coordinator at Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (CDEM) and graduate of Université de Saint-Boniface’s tourism management program, found her first job in the tourism industry through education.
“The program accelerated my career by at least five years,” says Foidart. “It really helped to create connections with industry members, and it gave me the foundational blocks and confidence I needed for the variety of work I do today.
It was a great leap forward for my career.”
