AM2.jobs Disney retunes professional development offer
People taking part in the Disney Institute’s professional development training course can now enjoy a theme park operating expe- rience as part of the curriculum. The Institute – which is accredited by
the International Association for Contin- uing Education and Training (IACET), the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) – began what it calls “leader walks” last year, which will now become a regular part of the course after a successful rollout. The leader walks will allow trainees to
see how the park operates and see how employees and managers at the park run the business side of things. The walks will see them taken out into the park to gain insight from a variety of Disney employees – from animal trainers to housekeeping executives – to see how they go about their daily work schedule and experience the best practices Disney uses in order to both run its business and maintain the Disney brand reputation.
Trainees will now be able to observe best practice principles in action at Disney’s parks
“People were saying they wanted more of a field experience,” said Bruce Jones, programming director of the Disney Institute, speaking to the Orlando Sentinel.
“The basic principles of the Institute haven’t changed, but now people can come and meet with Disney leaders in the parks.” More:
