The FITM and the SCS of the City U signed a cooperation MOU with Florida State University for co-organizing of the “Walt Disney World J-1 Academic Program” in 2012. Students enrolled in International Hospitality and Tourism Management now have the opportunity to study, have internships and participate in the exchange program at the Florida State University in the U.S. and Walt Disney World U.S. for six months.
International Recruitment, Disney Worldwide Services, Ms. Julie De Francisco and Ms. JanJan Lam conducted the Seminar, “Walt Disney World J-1 Academic Program” on 18 March, 2014. During the seminar, details of the program were described in aspects of a colorful life, integration of different cultures, as well as the specific learning and internship positions in Florida, to increase and deepen the students' interest and understanding of the program.
After the seminar, the international recruitment officers interviewed students who were interested in the program. All the interviewees have passed the TOEIC Test required.Those who pass the interview will start their US internship in June this year.
Since the establishment of the SCS and FITM in September 2011, both have earned the support of local and foreign enterprises and institutions offering numerous internship opportunities (such as the Walt Disney World U.S. Exchange Program). The faculties actively promote international exchange and academic research by signing collaboration agreements with renowned institutions including the Florida International University, Laureate Hospitality Education, Glion Institute of Higher Education, and the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management, to provide more experiential learning opportunities in foreign groups to broaden students’ international perspectives.
This event fully showcases international recognition of the tourism academic standards of the SCS and the FITM.
