 Students in the National Academy Foundation (NAF) Academy of Hospitality and Tourism (AOHT) programs at six high schools in the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) have the opportunity of interning in their chosen career program at the American Airlines Center this summer.  American Airlines Center and DISD have worked together for the past five years to create a quality internship program for these students. 

Each spring American Airlines Center managers interview prospective students in the program and hire four to six students to work in various departments of its organization for six to eight weeks during the summer of their junior year.  Internships provide students with on-the-job training and the opportunity to see the value of their high school learning.  The interns selected for this summer’s internship are currently working in the marketing, human resources, guest services and operations departments. 

“The DISD Academy of Hospitality & Tourism Internship program at the American Airlines Center is a real treasure,” said Mayne.  “The interns are engaged in actual work allowing them to receive hands on experience while fulfilling their need to learn how our business works.  These young folks inspire our employees with their energy, curiosity, passion and willingness to work.”  

Several students have continued working during their senior year of high school in their AOHT Career Preparation course and American Airlines Center has hired students after graduation. Currently, two students that previously participated in the internship program are on staff at American Airlines Center.  These internships have proven to be a ‘win-win’ opportunity for the company and for the students. 

Rock icon, Bret Michaels will rock Jack FM’s Bandanaroo on July 20^th at American Airlines Center.  All proceeds from Jack FM’s Bandanaroo will benefit Texas Can! an organization that gives young Texans a second chance.

 “Bret Michaels, so, yes, it’s fun for the whole family as long as the family is relatively dangerous to start with,” Jack said. “Thanks to Jack FM, you don’t have to choose your bad influence. It is Bret Michaels and Bandanaroo. Have fun kids.”

Fuel opens for Michaels at Jack FM’s Bandanaroo.  Fuel has been a staple on rock radio since 1998 with hits like “Shimmer,” “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” and “Bad Day.”  2010 brings in a new decade and new beginnings for the band as they have enlisted Guitarist Yogi of Buckcherry/Wallflowers, Bassist Brad Stewart of Shinedown, and Drummer Ken Schalk of Candiria to accompany lead vocalist Brett Scallions. 

100% of the ticket sales for Jack’s Bandanaroo will go to Texas Can!  Jack is very excited for this opportunity to help raise money for Texas Can!
