Arts will prepare you for an exciting career
in a variety of fields that are all centred
around aspects of the industry. I recognize
that world is operating in a different way
right now and these industries are currently
many of the hardest hit because of the current
global pandemic. However, once the global
market place recovers from this, we know that
the tourism and hospitality industry will
be looking for top graduates that have a strong
foundation in the skills that it takes to
work in a resort, a restaurant, a hotel, a
destination management company or various
other places that make up this dynamic industry
sector.

guest services, special event planning, hotel
management, or golf and club management, the
programs offered here at Fanshawe will allow
you to learn specific skills related to the

at the student-run restaurant and café The
Chef’s Table at Fanshawe College. The campus
is surrounded by industry partners that provide
