Dressed for Successful Careers(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Training Manager Dionne Travis (in white shirt) provided a front-and back-of the house tour recently at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at National Harbor for students in the Hospitality Express 4 Success (HE4S) program.  A project of The Training Source, Prince George’s Community College and the Community Services Agency, the HE4S program provides industry-recognized certifications and job search and placement assistance to low-income young people from Prince George’s County. The students, all dressed for success, heard about the various operations that make a stay at this Marriott property – whose workers are members of Unite Here Local 25 -- a memorable one, as well as first-hand tips about how to break into good jobs in the industry, retain those jobs and move up the ladder to build a successful career.
