Answer
The most recent figures available, for the period 2010 - 2015, show that 31,296 individuals enrolled in ‘Hospitality and Catering’ or ‘Travel and Tourism’ at the six Further Education Colleges.
The figures are correct as at 19th November 2015 using the subject sector area Hospitality & Catering and Travel and Tourism for all colleges.
The Department for Employment and Learning does not hold data on the number who have secured employment in this sector following graduation.
