79 students receive their certificates from Port Aventura University 2010

On 27 September, the Hotel Port Aventura hosted a ceremony in which seventy-nine students were awarded their certificates for the various courses taught at the PortAventura theme park in collaboration with the URV Foundation. It is now five years since this initiative was started.
 

Enrique Fontecha, joint director general of Port Aventura, Charo Romano, director of the URV Foundation’s Lifelong Learning Centre, and Marta Lahuerta, head of Human Resources at the theme park awarded the staff their certificates for the specialization courses which they have attended this year.

Twenty people received a certificate for the course in Hostelry, nineteen were awarded a certificate for the course in Theme Park and Leisure Operations and seventeen received certificates for the course in Catering. Twenty-three students completed all three specialization courses, ten of whom were awarded the URV postgraduate certificate of University Specialist in Theme Park and Leisure Management, and thriteen of whom were awarded the Higher Certificate in Theme Park and Leisure Management: Hostelry, Operations and Catering.

This joint project is the fruit of close collaboration between the URV and Port Aventura. It has been running since 2006 and has provided training courses to a total of 453 people. During the award ceremony, particular praise was given to the hard work not just of the students, but also of the teaching staff and tutors. Another fifty students are currently following courses run by the initiative.
