Gov. Justice spoke earlier this week to students about career opportunities in the state’s growing tourism industry during a visit to Nicholas County Career and Technical Center.

The event marked the beginning of hospitality and tourism education programs statewide, developed as a part of a new workforce development initiative, Tourism Works.

This program was launched by the Department of Tourism earlier this year to prepare for the projected growth of more than 21,000 annual job openings in the state’s tourism industry through 2025.
