Workforce Development

Career opportunities in the hospitality & tourism management (HTM) industry are as diverse as the people who come to visit Grand Rapids from different states, countries, and cultures each year. Do you have an eye for art? An appreciation of good food and drink? An aptitude for people-pleasing? Discover Tourism GR invites you to explore the pathways below to see what kinds of careers match your interests, talents, and skills.

It is essential that our HTM workforce reflect the diversity of our region and the world beyond Grand Rapids. We want visitors of all races, ethnicities, ages, abilities, genders, cultures, sizes, and sexual orientations to feel comfortable here – and the best way to do that is to make sure all of these identities (and more) are represented in our workforce. Discover Tourism GR and its industry partners are committed to making HTM careers accessible to anyone who has the drive, enthusiasm, and ambition to succeed.
