Don't know if anyone here would consider this worthwhile, but here it is, for your discussion and review:

This is under that particular school's hotel and hospitality program. Considering that while maintenance and repair work is hard but understandable, and that our industry's chief challenge has been money raising, maybe there could be something to this.

Golly, who would have thought it? Talk about "dark horse" program! Where did this come from?

The Director of the program is James Porterfield, who I suspect is known by many. Chime in if you see this, Jim!

If they offer this online, with credit for life experience, I would definitely go for it......

Take a look at the website under "Professional Programs", that usually means short programs for working adults (but not towards a degree).

I'm also intrigued....but I wish they would be a bit more detailed as to the curriculum. Nice conceptual statement, but it could actually mean anything......
