The hospitality field is the world's largest employer and the third largest employer in the state of Texas. Nine out of ten high school or college students in the United States will be employed in the hospitality field at least once in their lives.
The hospitality field is a fast-paced career and talented and dedicated employees can move up quickly into supervisory positions in a matter of months.
Both junior and senior high school students that attend Copperas Cove Independent School District or Killeen Independent School District have the unique opportunity to excel by enrolling in the Central Texas College Hospitality Program's dual credit program.
Once enrolled, the students will have the opportunity to earn as many as 20 college credits toward a degree in the hospitality field while attending high school. By high school graduation, a student will have had the opportunity to earn approximately one-third of his or her college degree at no cost. The student will also receive free transportation to and from the college, free textbooks, and a chef's jacket.
