We are now fast
approaching the end of our First Year of Project SEARCH at the London Heathrow
Marriott. Project SEARCH is a unique
internship programme designed to teach young people with learning difficulties,
employability, social and life skills, in a real life fully supported work
setting.
Our Interns are in
their 3rd rotations, in many departments across the hotel. The main focus for
our interns during their 3rd rotation is job searching. They have all been
honing their interview skills during their employability sessions, and many
have gone for interviews.
We are really proud
to announce that 3 of our Interns have secured future employment. Rhianna
Lavender is working at The Burrows for Care UK and we have offered contracts to
2 interns, Brian Wallington and Michael Vickery to join our team here at the
London Heathrow Marriott. Brian is working with our Engineering team and
Michael is working in our C & B department.
