For some of us Disney obsessed, that is a ridiculous question. But for others who may not know about the benefits of Disney and it's College and Internship Programs(s), it is a fair question.
The Disney College Program Is Hard To Get Into.
Anyone who has done any research on it can tell you. But, since it is so exclusive, it looks great on a resume.
The Opportunities To Network Are Incredible.
The seminars include speakers who currently work at Disney, and in general people who are already successful in their career, so network the crap out of these events! Connections are everything in the Disney work place.
You Get To Leave!
Wherever you are, and whoever you are, I can almost guarantee that at some point, you have or will want a change of scenery. This is a great opportunity to do that in a safe, fairly cheap environment.
It Can Count For College Credit.
Depending on your college, and who you get for your travel counselor, it can count for credit. There are optional classes that you can (but do not have to) take while you are working. There are seminars, classes, collegiate classes, and major-specific courses. These are incredibly cheap if not free, so take advantage of that! College is crazy expensive!
You Get Good Job Experience
Again, this is going on a resume, so it never hurts to have a good job history, or a source to write you letters of recommendation. Everyone who is at Disney wants to be there, and is happy to work.
So these are just a few out of the several reasons that I am going to participate in the DCP this coming Spring, and hopefully I will have other posts out about DCP on this blog at some point. If you want to read more about my DCP experience, you can check out my other blog.
Have a Magical Day!
