We know
that some students graduate from high school and are still
unsure of their next move. Perhaps you want to wait a
while before starting college, or maybe college isn't in
your plans at all. With the CareerStart Program, The Walt
Disney Company can offer you an opportunity to continue
learning skills you can use professionally while living in
an environment where you can be independent and poised to
learn more about yourself.
