Sawgrass Marriott 2nd Year Work Placement


In 2010, myself and nine other girls from the class went to Florida for our work placement. We arrived in Jacksonville in mid January and stayed till July. During this time we learned a number of skills. Many of us started out in the banquets department where we learned how to serve a whole host of different people, from weddings to gala dinners and huge charity events.
Sawgrass is legendary for its golf grounds which plays host to the TPC tournament every year. We were able to meet (come in close contact) with many golfing superstars, which was a real treat.
The weather was amazing, the beaches were beautiful and the atmosphere was fantastic.  We all had an absolute ball and had great experiences we can remember forever.
