ASHLEY County issued the following announcement on Dec. 20.
UAM has been leading the education and training of people in our South Arkansas Community for a long while now - more than 110 years.
Fall 2021 semester, the Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello College of Technology-Crossett (UAM-CTC) moved into a newly renovated space on the Monticello campus. Since then, students have benefited from the commercial-grade kitchen, storage area, and large classroom lab setting.
The HTM program prepares students for employment in the growing hospitality and tourism industry. Students may seek careers in hotel and restaurant management, tourism, or guest services. The program prepares students for entry-level positions in the hospitality industry and can enhance the skills of individuals currently employed in lodging, gaming, entertainment venues, and restaurants.
“Hospitality is the second largest employer in our country. There is no difficulty finding a job with a hospitality degree. In southeastern Arkansas, our biggest draw right now is the new casino in Pine Bluff. Other food and lodging jobs are quite available to students, too,” HTM instructor Alice Lindsey said. “I am looking for a student who can multitask because that is what hospitality is all about.”
