Video: Fairmont Summer Student Reception
Fairmont Southampton hosted a welcome reception on Thursday [July 12] for summer students that have taken up various roles around the hotel.
A spokesperson said, “Fairmont Southampton have hired 20 students for the summer this year. Every year we hire summer students in various roles around the hotel, but this year we decided to re-amp our Student Work Experience Program [SWEP], allowing us to bring in more students than we’ve had in recent years.
“The last time we hosted the program was in 2010 when we hired 48 students; some have now transitioned into full-time roles in the hotel, whilst others are excelling in roles within the hospitality industry.
“Throughout the school year we host various school students for work placement, this year we had students from Warwick Academy and CedarBridge Academy.

“Also, this year we had Whitney Middle School’s M3 class come for their Career Day where they received an exclusive tour of the hotel, they also were able to meet with industry professionals [Leaders who work at the hotel].”
The group were addressed by Regional Vice President Caribbean & Mexico and General Manager Fairmont Southampton Kiaran MacDonald, Minister of Economic Development and Tourism Jamahl Simmons, Executive Director of the Bermuda Hospitality Institute Malika Cartwright and Learning and Development Manager Ashjuanna Thomas.
