4 Top Reasons to Study Hospitality Today
4 Top Reasons to Study Hospitality Today
One of our most dynamic and popular subjects at the Sydney School of Technology is
Hospitality, a chance for enthusiastic students to explore the energetic hospitality industry
through guided learning. However, some students experience hesitation about this specific
study avenue, expressing concern for their potential career opportunities and the value of this
course. In this article, we explore why studying hospitality provides you with distinct and
diverse career prospects, and how this study vocation supports ambitions of travel and
business entrepreneurship. Here are four very good reasons to take a hospitality course.
1. Study Hospitality – Be Part of a Booming, Growth Industry
The hospitality industry is exceptionally vibrant, continuously evolving and presenting
recurrent job opportunities across Australia and the world. Studying hospitality offers
graduates multiple opportunities for immediate work, whether it be locally or in larger
establishments, such as hotel chains and world-renowned restaurants. As hospitality
employers are flooded with applications, especially during the booming periods, possessing
qualifications helps graduates stand out from the pack.
2. High Demand for Hospitality Workers During Peak Seasons
One of the major criticisms of certain industries is the lack of available work for graduates,
despite their qualifications or relevant work experience. Thankfully, hospitality is an industry
that possesses predictable peaks and troughs, with peak seasons attracting an abundance of
job opportunities at all employment levels. With such demand, it’s possible to easily move
positions, both sideways and upward, as the possibilities are continually presenting
themselves.
3. Travel and Overseas Working Potential in Hospitality Industry
Hospitality skills are universally recognised, and with the completed course, students can
travel the world using their knowledge. The advantage of this type of vocation is that you
don’t strictly need any association accreditation, or be part of a union, or governing body, to
travel with your skills. With such broad potential, students can travel the world, relocate
overseas and work comfortably with many opportunities at their disposal.
4. Business Growth for Entrepreneurs
Whether it be starting your small café in your local neighbourhood, or opening large scale
establishments. Study hospitality to help foster growth for start-ups and entrepreneurs.
Hospitality management skills are an essential component to running and expanding any
hospitality business, and are often underrated and overlooked in the start-up process. With
this knowledge, after you study hospitality, entrepreneurs can make smarter decisions about
their business, hire better-qualified staff, and expand confidently into business ownership.

Work, Play and Study in the Gold Coast – Exciting Opportunities
Study, play and work in the Gold Coast
Work, Play and Study in the Gold Coast? Is it possible, you might ask? Yes, it is. International students will even be awarded an extra
point in their permanent residency application following successful completion of their
studies. With the reclassification of the Gold Coast as a regional area, attaining your dream of
settling down in Australia is closer than you think. For this reason, we are opening a new
campus on the Gold Coast.
Study in the Gold Coast for a Fine Balance Between City and Outdoor Life
Unlike Sydney or Melbourne, Gold Coast offers a fine balance between city and outdoor life.
From its world-famous surfing beaches to theme parks and bushwalks, you’ll be spoilt for
choice in terms of leisure and recreational activities. Great Australian outdoor living is at
your ‘dorm-step’. And if you need the buzz of city life, Brisbane, the state capital, is less than
an hour’s drive away.
In 2019, the economy was rated as one of the strongest in Australia. Its economic
diversification policies are paying off. Although tourism remains a major sector,
manufacturing, exports and education are contributing too (1). This augurs well for graduates
as a strong economy presents employment opportunities. At a time when the global economy
is looking very fragile, graduating into a growing economy is reassuring.
Securing Part-Time or Casual Work
With a strong tourism sector, securing part-time or casual work in hospitality, which most
students tend to prefer, is easier. Your command of international languages is a competitive
advantage. The Gold Coast attracts tourists from all parts of the world, including non-native
English speakers. You’re unlikely to face difficulties getting a job to support yourself here.
Despite its robust economy, the Gold Coast’s cost of living remains affordable. It has been
reported that the cost of living for international students here is 40% less expensive than
Sydney or Melbourne (2). If you’r considering study in the Gold Coast then SSBT has the range of courses and support to help you achieve your goals. With a lower cost of living, the financial weight of receiving a top-
class education Australia is known for is significantly reduced. It puts you in a much stronger
financial position when you start working.
If you’re thinking of calling Australia home, take advantage of this reclassification and consider study in the Gold Coast. Start by
enrolling in any of the programs run by SSBT and connect with us to find out more.
