Community College Students Truly Live the Magic
Shook, Stephanie
Community College Journal, v76 n3 p32-35 Dec 2005-Jan 2006
This article talks about the Disney Theme Parks & Resorts College Program. The program attracts a variety of students each year from different backgrounds, major and career goals to the Walt Disney World Resort outside of Orlando, Florida, for a semester of living, learning and earning. The program has provided a foundation for thousands of students who have continued or returned to the Walt Disney World Resort for a long-term career, and others who have taken the training and experience they gained during the program to companies around the world. As Disney College Program participants, students can take advantage of a wealth of opportunities, and students often say that similar to college life, the more involved they become, the better and more valuable their experience is.
