Davies Jr. Career & Technical High School in Lincoln got a firsthand look at the interface between hotel operations and technology during a job-shadowing session last week, during which students observed hotel employees on the job. The event was a partnership between the hotel, Junior Achievement of Rhode Island, the Tech Collective and The Rhode Island Hospitality Education Foundation.
