Students don’t make career decisions alone—they often look to parents, counselors, family members and mentors for guidance. Our statewide Hospitality Industry Sentiment Assessment found that none of the parents surveyed expressed confidence in the industry’s wage potential, showing how important it is to share clearer information about pay, advancement and long-term career opportunities.

By helping trusted adults better understand the industry, we can help more students see a future in hospitality. Explore the findings from the Washington Hospitality Industry Sentiment Assessment at WHAEF.org.
