🌟 Real-World Learning for SHS students🌟
SHS students had an amazing experience participating in the Junior Achievement Job Shadow program at the Marriott Hotel in Albany last week.
They explored a wide range of careers in the hospitality industry from Marriott team members. Students discovered how teamwork, communication, and customer service keep a hotel running successfully. This impactful experience also helped students connect what they’re learning in Introduction to Business and Entrepreneurship to real-world career pathways.
