“Co-op students are very close to my heart, I have always loved working with them. I was just like them once upon a time and I had great mentors and teachers who got me excited about this industry.
I feel it is time to give back and instill the same excitement and enthusiasm in the next generation. The first work experience and the initial teachings you receive as a student mould the rest of your career. And at the Inn, we aim and are proud to be able give them that right start."
