A research project was designed to develop a hospitality education program model for Hawaii's community colleges. Primary data were gathered in a survey of the hospitality industry characteristics, manpower requirements, and training needs. This report of the project covers the following information: history and growth of the hospitality industry in Hawaii; a discussion of Hawaii's current employment statistics and projected employment in the hospitality industry through 1982; and the results (sixty-eight pages) of the skills survey of nineteen occupations in the hospitality industry. Each occupation is presented in a four-column format which includes a listing of what the worker does, minimum skill and knowledge requirements, skill area, and performance standards/objectives for the specific skill. A fifty-page appendix includes statewide employment estimates; correspondence, questionnaires for the skills survey, and a listing of over 100 occupational titles in the hospitality industry; summary report of meetings and correspondence; conference reports and correspondence of campus representatives; and a bibliography.
