BoysTown clients experience Sheraton Mirage

Eight young people from our Logan facility were given the opportunity to see how the Sheraton Mirage Resort and Spa Gold Coast operates.
 

REAL WORK EXPERIENCE

This two day program gave young people an insight into different employment opportunities in hospitality and hotels at Starwood Group's Sheraton Mirage.

Day one began with an employment workshop and concluded with a behind the scenes tour of the resort including a look into $2,000 per night Royal suite.

Day two put our young people to work in various departments of the resort. The first-hand experience gained was invaluable and they looked smart in their new uniforms, perfectly ironed with not a crease in sight.

Feedback from our young people was extremely positive and the mini bus on the drive home was buzzing. They all wanted to talk about their experiences and how grateful they were for the opportunity.

"I really loved it here. The people were so nice. Well apart from an angry customer who got upset at me because he couldn't go to the pool until he got his room key." - Emily

They certainly did get real world experience in hospitality! It's opportunities like this that ignite a spark in young people and inspire them to chase their dreams and most importantly enable them to believe in themselves.
