The Disney college program offers an experience of a lifetime for students. It’s a six-month paid internship that offers housing, shuttles to and from work and positions in the resorts or in the parks.
“You have the program, which feeds into professional internships,” Tiffany Fridley, graduate student and WSU’s campus representative for the Disney college program, said.
The Disney College Program offers opportunities for future jobs and it adds value to a resume.
“The program is very diverse and you get to meet people from all around the world in the international program,” Fridley said, as she shared her experience about having neighbors from New Zealand and Australia who were working in the program.
Applicants have the choice of working in merchandise, hospitality or as a performer. Those who want to apply must be enrolled in school, be 18 years of age or older, have at least a 2.0 GPA and submit a resume. Once a student applies, there is a web and phone interview with a recruiter.
“Always have a smile during the interview,” Fridley said.
Fridley has worked in the college program as a performer. Her program was called the Fall Advantage, which she started in 2009. Now she is a seasonal worker.
