Dominican Today - Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Pontifical Catholic University (Pucamaima), the Disney Corporation and the Tompkins Cortland Community College will sign an agreement to contribute with the educating the students of hotel administration through Disney World.
The students who will participate in the program will receive wages and instruction in the areas of hotel management and food and beverage.
The agreement will be signed on Tuesday, March 27 in Pucamaima, Santiago, during a ceremony headed by its president monsignor Agripino Núñez, and doctors Carl Haynes, Walter Poland, Kristi Breen and Lee Ann Demay.
In addition to operating the amusement park’s equipment, sales, and customer services, the training will be supervised and accredited by the State University of New York and the Disney Corporation.
“It’s a unique opportunity, conceived in very favorable and accessible terms, in order that hotel administration students of the Pucamaima develop abilities and add credits to their studies," said David Alvarez, dean of the Sciences and Humanities faculty.
More than 700 Pucamaima students have gotten additional credits after attending summer semesters and others have continued in pre-graduate programs and masters in the Rochester Institute of Technology.
