Career PathsSeveral years of experience and in-house training are generally required to advance to hotel manager. Various jobs such as desk clerk, bellhop, functions manager, human resources officer, front office manager, food and beverage manager, etc., can be used as entry and intermediate positions. New graduates of hospitality education programs usually start in junior positions such as desk clerk or banquet coordinator. Some large hotels sponsor specialized on-the-job management training programs that allow trainees to rotate among various departments and gain a thorough knowledge of the hotel's operation. The large chains have more extensive career ladder programs and offer managers the opportunity to transfer to another hotel or motel in the chain or to the central office. OutlookEmployment prospects for accommodation service managers are expected to be good in the period 2010-2014. Employment in Manitoba in 2010 is estimated at 1,185. The accommodations industry is sensitive to economic conditions generally. The number of jobs in this occupation is affected by the volume of international and domestic tourists and business travellers as well as medical travellers who require accommodation when they come from northern communities for treatment. Fewer American tourists are expected to visit Manitoba and this will have a significant impact, particularly on hunting and fishing lodges in remote areas. The Manitoba Homecoming planned for 2010 will attract many people with ties to the province and should stimulate domestic tourism in the short term. While employment growth is not expected over the next five years there will be vacancies arising due to retirements. Accommodation service managers are located throughout Manitoba. There are proportionally more in the tourist areas of south-east Manitoba, northern Manitoba, Parklands and the Interlake than elsewhere in the province. Employment by Age Group
