In this Business Decoded episode, Ronnie Spellman interviews Bobbie Lynn Weir, an accomplished educator with a significant business background, discussing her innovative "Hotel Hub" program. Weir, a National Board Certified CTE teacher and state board appointee, transformed a high school classroom into a simulated hotel lobby in partnership with Omni Hotels. This immersive environment, complete with professional ambiance, serves as a workforce development platform teaching students both technical hospitality skills and crucial soft skills like professionalism, communication, and leadership. Weir details how real-world experiences—including internships, managing events, attending professional conferences, and participating in actual job fairs—accelerate student growth, build confidence, and prepare them effectively for careers and life, demonstrating a powerful model for business-education partnerships.For a summary and to connect with the guest, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-decoded-podcastProduced by www.andycostafilms.com
