The Professional Development Program is a series of three day classes focused on higher learning in the hospitality industry.
Participants come from all over the world to take classes at such locations as Ithaca, New York (at the Cornell Campus); Brussels, Belgium; Singapore; and site visits in Las Vegas and New York City.
Generally participants in the program have previous experience in the hospitality industry and are returning to further their education to maximize their work efficiency.
The Professional Development is largely funded by the Anheuser-Busch Foundation.
Famous quotes containing the words professional, development and/or program:
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
