Disney Internship
SUNY Plattsburgh's department of Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management offers a unique internship through its partnership with the Walt Disney World College Program. The program provides the student with an opportunity to take a semester to do an internship in Florida. This internship includes hospitality-industry-specific work experience at various areas such as quick and full-service restaurants, hotels, vacation planning, recreation, entertainment centers, as well as guest services, customer relations, operations and merchandising.
The Disney experience exposes the students to a multi-cultural and diverse environment that is a valuable element of a Hospitality-Management career. The program also includes an education component through which students can take Hospitality-Management courses. The American Council on Education recommends these courses for credit. The Disney internship is an academically oriented work experience that will provide the students with the tools they need to compete in today's job market.
