Six Flags Friends & Cornell University Partner To Inspire Future Industry Leaders

Six Flags Friends has partnered with The School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University for the second annual Six Flags Friends Apprentice Program — an educational development package that combines a traditional financial scholarship with hands-on apprentice-style learning.

This elite program will offer one outstanding hospitality management student the opportunity to work and train alongside some of the best and brightest in the theme park business. The Six Flags apprenticeship provides real world applications designed to supplement the student's academic
courses with hands-on day-to-day responsibilities. The program is designed to couple in-park experiences with strategic planning and analysis in an effort to create an all encompassing look at park operations. The recipient will be able to choose from one of 17 domestic Six Flags properties and will spend the 2010 summer season engaged in all operational aspects of the park's business.

Additionally, the student will receive a full-tuition, one semester scholarship to be used towards obtaining their degree at Cornell University. Six Flags will also assume the cost of the student's summer room and board, including a meal stipend allowance.
