Hospitality CEOs in the Making
Step into the world of YES, where high school students meet team UNLV through project-based mentoring and a case-study analysis of the top industry right their backyards.
This summer, UNLV's International Gaming Institute teamed up with local community nonprofit Core Academy to inspire the next generation of Nevada hospitality industry leaders. During the four-week summer program, 30 Las Vegas high school students discovered the managerial and executive-level career opportunities available to them in the industry and gained insight into the college experience at UNLV. They developed new skills to excel in the classroom today and the workplace tomorrow.
Here YES program manager Shekinah Hoffman of the International Gaming Institute shares her summer experience with you.
