The food and beverage services sector is one of the highest employing sectors in Australia.
The hospitality industry has been steadily growing over the past five years at approximately 1.9%, with the growth attributed to factors such as growing foodie culture, population growth and an increase in consumer demand.
Employment in the hospitality industry is expected to increase by 12.1% in the next five years which means an additional 91,000 jobs. This course will prepare you for employment in this growing and global sector.
The hospitality industry is growing and so are community expectations for how alcohol is served and supplied.
Government regulations around the responsible service of alcohol means an RSA qualification is becoming increasingly important to work in the food and beverage sector.
