Eligiblity Guidelines
You will need to be in line with transfer guidelines. Read the job posting carefully to understand the specific requirements. Speak to your leader if you are unsure if you are within transfer guidelines.
Offers are determined based on business needs, and individuals must meet the conversion eligibility guidelines. Additionally, all opportunities are contingent upon the successful completion of your Disney College Program and, if applicable, confirmation of restrictions and accommodations in the part-time or Full-time role. Please refer to the part-time/full-time posting for requirements.
A full-time offer is not guaranteed and there is not an option to preference full-time only. In the application, you will have the option to select either part-time only, or part-time/full-time. Note: there may be select roles that increase your likelihood of receiving a full-time offer based on business need.
You can only apply for an extension OR a part-time/full-time opportunity. Once you have applied to one, you cannot switch. Choosing to apply to extend means you are opting not to pursue a part-time or full-time opportunity right now. Keep in mind, you will still have the chance to explore applying for part-time/full-time roles at the end of your extension.
Yes, you will receive communication closer to your new program end date about next steps. If offered, a part-time or full-time role would begin at the end of your program. Note – you must meet all record card and attendance guidelines to be eligible.
