For the past six weeks, Stokesay Castle was among the lucky companies in the community to pair up with the Goodwill Summer Work Experience & Assessment Program (SWEAP).
SWEAP allows young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 to gain real world work experience and to earn their first paychecks.
From organizing linens and cleaning the castle to landscaping the grounds, the four SWEAP participants learned many skills to prepare their futures in the work force.
“We were so appreciative of their hard work and dedication throughout these past weeks,” said Luis Pereira, General Manager of Stokesay Castle & The Knight’s Pub. “We thought it necessary to reward them in our own way, with a trip in the Stokesay Castle limo to the Pagoda and a refreshing ice cream treat.”
