| Abstract: | The "demographic time bomb" will have implications for all industries, especially in the recruitment of graduates. This situation is explored with reference to the hotel and catering industry in the United Kingdom. Research carried out into the job opportunities for graduates in this sector is reported with regard to the types of job package offered; training; levels of responsibility and career prospects; salary and fringe benefits. It was found that the packages offered exhibit similarities and differences when compared with those offered by other industries. The conclusion drawn is that the present situation in the hotel and catering industry may have arisen from the failure to regard itself as competing in the wider labour market. |
