Chris Trout, vice president of learning and development at The Walt Disney Company had this to say about the partnership: “Much like Disney, Johnson & Wales is committed to being cutting-edge, staying on top of trends, and ensuring what their students learn today are things they can put into practice tomorrow” (Disney).
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts boast over 600 food and beverage locations in the U.S. alone. This partnership can only make sense as The Walt Disney Company foresees considerable opportunities in its culinary programs over the next few years.
A few of the ways in which Disney Aspire facilitates education are by covering 100% of the tuition as well as reimbursing for required books and fees, delivering an enhanced degree catalog aligning with predicted work trends, and providing individual coaching through Guild, and postgraduate support.
