Do you have a student that is interested in Business, Marketing, Culinary Arts, Hotel/Lodging Management or Event Planning? These are students that would be interested in the Hospitality Careers Academy!
The Academy is a terrific summer opportunity for your students that are interested in a career in Hospitality and Tourism. During the weeklong Academy, students will listen to guest speakers in the industry, participate in job shadowing and industry tours, take part in team-building and leadership activities, all while working towards the culminating project that integrates the skills and information they have gained throughout the week.
Your students could be chosen to attend this week-long Academy. The registration fee of $600 includes week-long accommodations at the Ritz Carlton and a hotel property in Athens, meals for the week, and training from industry professionals. The Academy is sponsored by The Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Ga. and The Classic Center of Athens, Ga. If your student can find a mentor to sponsor them for the program, they will be honored at the final luncheon.
How can students apply to be a part of this unique summer opportunity? Student acceptance will be based on a competitive process which includes: a completed application, an essay question, three recommendations, and a personal interview. The application packet is attached. Please encourage your interested students to take advantage of this chance to gain an in-depth perspective of careers in the Hospitality and Tourism industry, the second largest and fastest growing industry in Georgia. We are looking for the future leaders in our industry.
