WJCC Counselors, Career Specialists Visit Busch Gardens To Hear About Student Opportunities

Busch Gardens recently hosted counselors from the WJCC School Division and the York School Division at a career fair that spotlighted the many job opportunities at Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. Carl Lum, president of Busch Gardens, welcomed counselors and administrators, who learned from Vice President of Human Resources Jim Harris about the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required to perform in the many departments of Busch Gardens and Water Country from finance, culinary arts, and performing arts, to health services, marketing, engineering, and grounds maintenance. Counselors also learned about seasonal employment available to students and about the many careers that are available in both parks. The Greater Williamsburg Chamber and Tourism Alliance worked with Busch Gardens to organize the event.
