The Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation sector provides students with the academic and technical preparation to pursue high-demand and high-skill careers in these related and growing industries. The sector encompasses three distinct, yet interrelated, career pathways: Food Science, Dietetics, and Nutrition; Food Service and Hospitality; and Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation. The foundation standards include core, compre­hensive technical knowledge and skills that prepare students for learning in the path­ways. The knowledge and skills are acquired within a sequential, standards-based pathway program that integrates hands-on and project- and work-based instruction as well as internship, community classroom, work experience, apprenticeship, and coop­erative career technical education. Standards included in the Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation sector are designed to prepare students for technical training, postsecondary education, and entry to a career.
