Programs

There are 34,560 hotel rooms located in the greater Toronto area... Accommodation and Food Services employs more than 120,000 people in Toronto and more than 1,000,000 across Canada.

We have hired some of our best and brightest employees from George Brown - which is a testimonial to the high quality of education they have received. For example, right here in Toronto alone, we have 44 graduates and students who are working at the Fairmont Royal York. They are gaining valuable experience in a variety of positions, including banquet supervisor; conference concierge manager, manager, marketing communication; billing analyst; cook; and executive meeting manager.”
