Student Education & Development Program

Student Education & Development Program

The NCBMP Student Education and Development Program is designed to attract students from colleges and universities across the country. We are interested in students pursuing careers in all segments of Hospitality including, but not limited to: DMOs, Meeting Planning, Lodging, Food & Beverage, Sports/Sports Facilities, Travel, Audio/Visual, Design, and Hospitality Law. 

The short-term goal is to re-incarnate and develop this initiative for NCBMP for presentation as we celebrate the upcoming 41st anniversary on November 13-16, 2024, in Birmingham, Alabama. Up to ten students will be selected to attend/participate in this year’s conference. We will provide educational sessions and networking opportunities, and award scholarships on behalf of NCBMP to assist them toward graduation.

The long-term goal is to become an organization of support for students as they approach graduation from their prospective colleges and universities. We will achieve this goal via our four pillars of operation: 
membership, mentorship, education, and scholarship. As students enter the workforce, we will encourage them to maintain membership and participation within NCBMP.
