Program Overview
As a part of the Disney College Program at
Disneyland® Resort, participants will have the opportunity to
develop their strengths and interests, meet guests and Cast Members from around
the country and take part in educational opportunities they just can't get
anywhere else. This truly unique program allows participants to network with
Disneyland Resort leaders, take part in personal- and career-development
classes, and build transferable skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, Guest
service and effective communication. All participants will work in
front-line roles at the
Disneyland Resort, including Stores, Attractions, Food & Beverage,

Participants have the opportunity to custom design a
learning curriculum that best suit their needs and interests with an
Individualized Learning Plan.
This plan will provide participants the foundation they need to be successful
in the program, and to establish themselves onto a future path - whether they
are college bound or planning their next step in their career.
