NEW YORK, NY -- 11/03/09 --
CheapOair, a top ten online travel booking
agency, is proud to announce its continuing partnership with the Covenant
House. Deepening a 3-year relationship with the Covenant House, CheapOair
began the first of a series of 6-week long Agent Training Programs on
September 8, 2009 at Covenant House to help the young adults learn valuable
skills that can translate into future job opportunities.
The goal of the program is to teach entry level basics needed to become a
travel professional. CheapOair is committed to training and hiring
under-privileged youth from the Covenant House and other shelters in the
New York area. "As our company grows, we feel the need to give back to our
community, which will mean providing employment opportunities as well as
providing access to training facilities to people who otherwise would not
have access to such programs," said Sam Jain, President and CEO of
CheapOair.
Sam added that, "The students are all very excited and are looking forward
to joining us or other travel companies after the program is completed.
They will all also receive a certificate of training completion."
CheapOair also held an employee drive for clothing and other daily items
needed by Covenant House youth. In addition, Sam Jain, presented Mr. Jerome
Kilbane, Executive Director of Covenant House with a $5,000 donation.
CheapOair will conduct four training programs per year, two at Covenant
House and two at Ali Forney Center, starting after the new year. To learn
