Disney Career Start Program

[prdy40]

My son was accepted for the spring 2010 program-How many classes is he allowed to take this is important for me because of health insurance coverage while he is in florida.

Did your son get into the CareerStart or College Program? I know you can only take classes that Disney offers and maybe a few online ones in the CareerStart Program.To be honest I wouldnt take the classes because you'll get less hours which means less money.

With regards to Disney Education Classes, participants may sign up for up to two classes, and may sign up for a third with prior permission from the Disney Education Office.

With regards to online classes/non-Disney classes, Participants may sign up for how many they like. However, we do recommend that Participants take their work schedule and whether they'll be able to make time for everything into consideration.

Actually, with the new C&IP Scheduling Guidelines, Participants are subject to the same restriction on maximum number of hours during most of the year regardless of whether or not they're in Disney Classes, both sets of Participants may only be involuntarily scheduled for no more than 45 hours per week most of the year, increasing to 60 hours during Peak Attendance periods.

The only difference between the two groups now is that Education Participants may only be invountarily scheduled a maximum of 45 hours per week during those times of the year when CP groups are transitioning (one session is leaving and another is arriving). Those Participants not in Education Classes may be scheduled a maximum of 60 hours per week during these periods.

I have a question about the classes for CSers. I've got a rather full classload right now, and was kind of looking forward to not having to take any classes until college starts (I graduate high school in December, and go down in February for CS). My parents, however, are pushing me to think about taking a class offered by Disney - probably the leadership class. My question is, how time-consuming are these classes? I won't take more than one class, but if the class isn't too terribly time-consuming, I think it would be a good idea to take it.

Oh if I was twenty years younger, I'd jump on this in a heartbeat.

I am also looking into the Disney CareerStart Program and I'm also a junior.
It says on the Application form to fax the following documents:
The Application, role checklist and letter of recommendation I understand but, where do I find the Short Response form? I've looked all over the website for it and it isn't mentioned anywhere.
Can someone inform me to where I can find this? Thanks!
Oh and wish me luck when I apply in a few short years.

i believe both the short response and letter of recommendation have both been recently taken out of the application process. good luck in 2011 when you apply for careerstart!!

It wasn't hard at all. Just remember to answer with stronger answers. (strongely disagree, strongly agree) and relax!

 

[CrazySteph]

Strongely Agree or disagree? How come? (Sorry for the asking, I dont know why, but this is what i'm most nervous about. Im scared I won't have enough points in the end )

[HorrorQueen0224]

Don't worry about it! All of the questions are common sense.

I agree a lot of them are just common sense.

At the end of the Web Interview if they want you you'll get a message at then end for you to call them and set up your phone interview. I think you'll do fine

How is everyone? This is my first post and the first time ever hearing about this wonderful opportunity! I'm 21 (22 in August) and graduated from high school in June 06. Also living in North Carolina, right by the beach! I attended a major university right after and dropped out after a year because of finances.

I have been working full time and have not been enrolled in college in a year. Do I still qualify for the career start program? It will be 48 months this June 2010 since graduating from high school. Is there anything i should know before applying? Will this gap in schooling affect my chances? Anyone else in the same situation as me? Any insight would be great!

I'm planning on eventually joining the military, completing my Bachelor, and become and Officer. And this opportunity would be great to get a few more credit hours and experience something new before i enlist. Or at least open me up to more options before enlisting. Who knows, this may just change my career entire path. Hearing about this is a blessing! I wonder if there are more opportunities such as this one.

Thanks everyone!
God Bless Everyone in 2010!

First of all, welcome to the boards! Unfortunately, recruiting has ended for spring 2010 and the fall 2010 program starts more than 48 months after you graduated. That means you are no longer eligible to participate in the CareerStart Program. You also do not qualify for the College Program since you are no longer enrolled in a college. Sorry for the bad news. If you would like to make yourself eligible again for the CP there are a lot of threads here that can explain how to do so better than I can. I can tell you that you WILL have to re-enroll in school. Good luck and I hope that helps!
