Air Jamaica Soars to New Heights with Commitment to Corporate Philanthropy

Air Jamaica has lent its support to another initiative, “Jamaica 360º Sun Festival” Black College Graduation Celebration, Empowerment Forum and Career Expo. As the official airline sponsor of this new and exciting program, 100 recent graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) will be flown to Jamaica as participants in the inaugural event.

The program will see Recycling Inspiration partnering with HEART TRUST/NTA, Jamaica’s leading human resource and training organization to facilitate these graduates gain competency and certification in teaching hospitality, business, administration and entertainment in Jamaica and throughout the Caribbean.

Given the importance of tourism to Jamaica, this initiative designed to equip Jamaicans with the requisite skills to gain employment in the service and hospitality industry, is expected to provide tremendous opportunities for economic growth and development. It further demonstrates what can be achieved through partnership.

While in Jamaica, the graduates will be acknowledged for their dedication to school, community service, and are being prepared for their next chapter in life.

“Air Jamaica is pleased to partner with Recycling Inspiration in facilitating “Jamaica 360º Sun Festival,” a bold new initiative aimed at empowering young people. This ties in with our philosophy of assisting growth and development, as well as being a responsible corporate citizen,” says Paul Pennicook, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing.
