Standards-Aligned
Interactive Learning
Learning the concepts is one thing. Implementing those learned concepts when a guest disputes a bill, a table has an allergy concern, or a vendor runs late? That’s where a simulated internship, or Simternship, comes in.
Join Stukent CTE for a look inside our new Hotel & Lodging, Restaurant & Food Service, and Event Management Simternships. Virgil Ricks and Hayley Johnson will show how students step into entry-level roles such as front desk associate, server or host, and event assistant, and apply what they’ve learned in your class to realistic workplace situations. Students have the chance to build the skills they need for the workforce.
Bring your questions, and stay for a quick peek at FCCLA at the Bell.
