PUBLIC NOTICE: USM Lecture on Career Opportunities in Tourism and Hospitality Industry.

PHILIPSBURG:--- The University of St. Martin(USM) continues its fall semester lecture series with a lecture entitled,"Career opportunities in the tourism and hospitality industry, more than meets the eye", given by local entrepreneur Tamara Leonard on October 29th, 2012 at 6:30pm at USM.
The lecture will introduce students and the community to the myriad of career opportunities in the hospitality and tourism industry as well as provide a more in-depth look at the industry and its interrelated sectors.
"The goal of my talk with the students is to inspire them to pursue careers in the hospitality and tourism industry, the main income generator for our country. For too long the mentality of service being servitude has infected our society and has taken away the foundation of our economy and our sense of self ".
As a driven and committed businesswoman with vast experience in several areas of hospitality and tourism management, Leonard identified the need for further development of St. Maarten's service sector and is the force behind St. Maarten SuperHost, a customer service training programme, geared to improving the quality of service and to return the friendliness to St. Maarten. For Leonard, quality and friendly service is the undergirding component that supports the tourism and hospitality industry in St. Maarten.
"We, St. Maarten, have built a reputation on being the Friendly Island. It's time we regained that friendliness that made us famous and be stronger by taking interest and care of our economic pillar of tourism."
Another objective of the lecture is to emphasize the link between the tourism and hospitality sector and the job market in St. Maarten. Leonard emphasizes that most career fields in St. Maarten are linked to industry and draws on her experience with the family business, Leonard Enterprises, a waste management and roadside cleaning company in charge of the western section of St. Maarten.
"One of the major problems we encounter on St. Maarten is people are either unaware or simply don't understand that every aspect of our lives is strongly tied to tourism.
USM welcomes this lecture as it complements its hospitality program and hopes that it will inspire students and the community at large to explore career opportunities in the field. Information about the Hospitality program at USM will also be available. The lecture is free and open to the general public. The University of St. Martin Lecture Hall has a seating capacity for 200 persons.
