Before we close out #NAW2024, we celebrate Jaylee Brannon, Lodging Manager apprentice from Omni Hotels & Resorts. As the current Assistant Front Office Manager at the Omni Dallas Hotel, Jaylee loves working in hospitality to give people memorable experiences. “I love being able to give everyone I meet that opportunity; it feels good to give and this field allows me this joy every day. This program is such a great foundation for new or young leaders. It gave me the tools and mentors I needed to be great. I am so glad I was able to participate in this program.”

As we close out #NAW2024, please meet Davian Barton, Lodging Manager apprentice at Sonesta Hotels and Resorts at Miami Airport. Davian got his start in hospitality 14 years ago because he was looking for a job that could accommodate his school schedule. Selected by Sonesta for the apprenticeship program in September 2023, Davian graduated from the program in June 2024. “The apprenticeship program provided me with a solid foundation in supervising and managing skills. This directly and immediately had an impact to my current role as Assistant Front Office Manager.”

This afternoon we're celebrating #NAW2024 with Peter Messerer, Lodging Manager apprentice from Remington Hospitality! Peter was selected for apprenticeship in November 2023, and successfully completed the program in June 2024. “The apprenticeship significantly transformed my perspective on management. Shadowing the Director of Front Office at Hilton St. Petersburg provided valuable insights, but the structured approach to leadership offered by the apprenticeship further refined my skills.” Peter’s goal is to become a General Manager, with the long-term aspiration of joining the corporate team as a DVP of Operations.
