Education Overview

Our education program is designed to give participants a comprehensive experiential-learning opportunity that will provide them with an unparalleled enhancement to their academic and professional careers. As a participant in the Disney CareerStart Program at the Disneyland® Resort, participants will be enrolled in the Professional Development Study, which is step one in their learning journey. Participants can customize their learning to shape their Disney CareerStart Program experience into an opportunity that specifically suits their needs and interests.

Participants' ability to guide their learning is what makes the Disney CareerStart Program more than just a work opportunity. While on the Disney CareerStart Program, participants choose from multiple educational opportunities to incorporate into their program and enhance their experience.

As part of the participants' learning experience, they may elect to take Disney Collegiate Courses recommended for credit by the American Council on Education. Each of the Disney Collegiate Courses is focused around an area of Disneyland Resort expertise and contains levels of academic rigor not uncommon to the classes that can be taken at a college or university. Participants will have required textbooks to read, papers to write and special projects to complete. The difference is that they will be able to apply this knowledge immediately at their work location.
