The next 2,000 people who sign up for an upcoming 12-week hospitality management training course in Michigan will receive a $500 stipend upon completion.
The Michigan Hospitality Training Institute has made Port Huron the location for its hospitality business management courses. The course is designed to teach job skills and provide participants with four industry-standard credentials.
According to organizers, the course is worth $2,500. The service is free to the next 2,000 people who sign up at any location and start date, now including Port Huron. The 2,000 registrants are also eligible to receive a $500 stipend upon completion of the course.
Registration is required to attend the course. Registration deadline is March 22 at 5 pm and can be visited at www.htim.com/stepup. The course is scheduled to begin in April.
The maximum number of participants per course is 45.
While the course is geared toward those in the hospitality industry, anyone is welcome to enroll.
Port Huron now joins 21 other locations where the Michigan Hospitality Institute offers courses.
“We try to place the classes in locations where people sign up, and we find a lot of people come from Port Huron,” said Chris Woodruff, an instructor at the Michigan Hospitality Training Institute.
Woodruff will serve as an instructor for the Port Huron course.
Courses will be in a hybrid format, with the first week held on-site at the DoubleTree Hotel and the second week online. The course will then switch back and forth from there.
The hybrid format also provides greater flexibility for participants.
Certificates earned in this all-inclusive course include ServSafe Manager, ServSafe Alcohol, Hotel Supervisor and Guest Service Gold, which are nationally recognized certifications in the hospitality industry. In addition to the certificate, participants will receive unconscious bias, mental health and sexual harassment training.
“Michigan is in great need of quality hospitality leaders, and this program is designed specifically to do that,” Woodruff said.
Michigan’s hotel industry has annual sales of nearly $44.6 billion and is the state’s second-largest private employer, with nearly 500,000 residents. Woodruff said he looks forward to teaching the course in Port Huron because the area is a tourist destination and is the perfect location for such a program.
