Five Former & Current Educators Each Receive a Free Franchise, 3-Day Cruise and Travel to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for Weeklong Training Program

December 13, 2011 // Franchising.com // Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - This holiday season, five former educators have more to celebrate than ever before. CruiseOne, the nation’s leading cruise retailer, today announced the winners of its 2011 “Second Chance at Success” contest, which was launched earlier this year in an effort to provide new business opportunities to unemployed teachers. Each winner will receive a full week of start-up training at the company’s Fort Lauderdale, Florida headquarters, a 3-night Bahamas cruise aboard Carnival Imagination and their own CruiseOne franchise.

The five lucky winners will depart their hometowns the first week in December, heading to CruiseOne’s state-of-the art corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a week of in-depth industry training.

They are:

• Arielle and Frank Rosner, Bloomfield, Michigan
• Charrelle Johnson, Melbourne, Florida
• Gina Purvis, Marlton, New Jersey
• William Maudlin, Beaver Lake, Nebraska
• Yvette Reid, Conyers, Georgia

“Former educators are some of our most profitable franchisees, as they have the right skill set to build a successful travel business,” said Dwain Wall, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CruiseOne. “Sadly, the current economy has forced many teachers to abandon their dreams and begin searching for new opportunities. CruiseOne is pleased to support this important group, giving them a ‘Second Chance at Success’ in an industry that is fun, exciting and has tremendous growth potential.”

Nearly 300 submissions were received as part of CruiseOne’s “Second Chance at Success” contest, which is expected to become an annual program. Entries – including resumes, business plans and other background materials – were judged by members of the CruiseOne network development, marketing and executive teams. Eight finalists were interviewed before the five winners were selected.
