270 days at the Delta Sky Club, and counting
A North Atlanta High senior balances varsity basketball, weekends at one of the busiest Delta lounges in the country, and college applications, and his GM says he's a great young man.
Ricardo Crawford joined Bridges as a junior at North Atlanta High School. He took the job-readiness coursework seriously, and as the school year ended he made his goal plain: he wanted to work.
His Youth Employment Specialist lined up an interview at Sodexo Magic, the hospitality operator at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, one of the busiest airports in the world. Ricardo prepped, performed, and got the offer.
Over the summer he proved out. When the school year started again, he kept going, weekends at the Delta Sky Club while his weekdays filled with senior classes and varsity basketball.
His General Manager at Sodexo Magic, Keishia Walker, calls him "a great young man and a welcome addition to our team." Ricardo crossed 270 days on the job at one of the busiest Delta lounges in the country.
Today Ricardo is finishing his senior year at North Atlanta High and waiting on college decisions.
