Mutually Beneficial Relationship Helps to build platform skills for our leaders (focus on those that have public speaking as a part of their own personal development plan). Provides exposure for Marriott leaders outside of the workplace and in the communities in which they work and live. Builds loyalty with students interested in our industry. We find that once they are in college, they have already developed relationships and loyalty to other organizations. Provides education, exposure and helps students to develop professional relationships in the business community. THE REAL ROI Builds bench strength for future talent with Marriott and provides current and future job opportunities for students!
