What happens when you take an innovative internship coordinator (Margaret Doyle … aka Mags), a very cool GM of a major hotel property (Martin LeClerc), great hospitality students in a BA in International Hotel Management, awesome staff at the Fairmont Empress and mix it with EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING?
RRU007 Interns demonstrate why they are a tremendous new resource to the tourism and hospitality industry as they look forward to graduate in the fall, and an award winning hotel property demonstrate their knowledge and appreciation for supporting training and education to ensure our labour force remains strong with qualified professionals!
As part of their preparations and learning, Mags set up a wonderful training and marketing opportunity for her students. Check out the video. I love when creativity mades learning fun, uses people, technology and makes learning relevant. This is this stuff tourism is made of — innovative, entrepreneurial, creative people. Leaders dare to be different, and they are remembered for it.
