Twelve of Twelve Graduates in the new Rolex-Sponsored Program

Saint Paul College is proud to announce that all 12 students in the first cohort of the newly redesigned Watchmaking Program have successfully graduated from this extremely rigorous 3000 hour training program. This is quite an accomplishment considering the international statistic for retention in programs using the WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program) curriculum is approximately 80%.

We are also pleased to report that nearly all of the graduates have already received job offers and/or accepted positions where the service of Rolex watches will be a significant portion of their workload. Some of these employer’s are: Meierotto’s Jewelry in Kansas City, MO; Beauchamp Jewelers in Albuquerque, NM; Congress Jeweler’s in Naples, FL; and Rolex Service in San Francisco, CA.

Placing graduates in an environment servicing Rolex watches is an excellent way for the College to utilize the generous financial support received by our Watchmaking Program from Rolex since 2004. The Watchmaking Program truly fulfills the College’s mission by the curriculum’s focus on skills and theory which are critical to industry’s needs.
