Hands-On Education with Joseph Gormley at the College of Southern Nevada
On this episode, I’m joined by Joseph Gormley, Professor and Hospitality Management Chair at the College of Southern Nevada.
Joseph initially pursued a career in aerospace engineering but pivoted to an undergraduate degree in business which he used to start an Italian ice food truck company. Between that entrepreneurial experience, his time running a restaurant and his eventual MBA, Joseph has become the ideal candidate for training and equipping future hospitality leaders for success.
Joseph’s approach to education prioritizes hands-on experience. Students in his program have knives in hand and are actively practicing essential hospitality skills in their second week. This prepares them for real-world restaurant work and gives them foundational knowledge of all elements of the hospitality business, well before their first day on the job.
As Joseph tells it, this practical education provides the tools his students need for success.
