HFTP is open to all majors.
About HFTP
HFTP is a national industry association for Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals with a local chapter in the Coachella Valley. We are starting a student chapter in conjunction with the HFTP Southern California Desert Chapter. HFTP SCDC has networking events once per month October through May, and students will be invited to some of these events. The main purpose is to partner with local leaders in the valley for students to be able to build relationships with businesses in the valley and potential placement after graduation.
