Marriott's Frenchman's Cove and The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas Partner with UVI Committee to Host High School Students
USVIHTA partnered with the University of the Virgin Islands to form an advisory committee to address student enrollment, recruitment, program goals and program advancement at the university. One of the committee’s key initiatives is recruitment by offering hotel tours and job shadowing to high school students to stimulate interest in the industry. In March, Ivanna Eudora Kean High School students toured Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove and Charlotte Amalie High School students toured The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas. During the visits to two premiere properties, students had an opportunity to observe and engage with department leaders and managers, participate in hands-on activities, interact with staff, learn about amenities and much more. These partnerships are crucial to identifying and training future leaders of the industry, and we look forward to more member hotels participating.
