San Diego Mesa College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program because 1) a supply gap exists in the region; 2) on average, the occupations’ entry-level earnings are above the living wage; and 3) there is a high number of annual job openings in hospitality management.
