The Student Work Experience Program (SWEP) is available to students currently enrolled in Hospitality, Tourism, Recreation, or Culinary programs at a college or university. SWEP provides students with the opportunity to gain industry-specific experience through seasonal co-op placements during their academic breaks. Participants can enhance their skills, adventure in the mountains, and take part in various events hosted for SWEP members throughout their placement.
