As a (soon-to-be) hospitality professional, you might be dreaming of the opportunity to manage your own hotel. Well, this internship comes pretty damn close! As a Management Trainee, you will be responsible for the daily operations and work on projects together with the Management Team.
This is probably one of the most challenging and rewarding internships that you will come across.
When you are on shift, you will support your team(s) wherever possible. Rush hour at the Front Desk or F&B? You've got it covered. Big complaint from a guest? You know how to turn their experience around. Someone left their bread in the toaster too long and it's about to set off the evacuation alarm? You've already disabled it.
Because you are able to stay as cool as a cucumber and think outside the box, you can handle any situation. You know how to connect with your team to achieve amazing results together.
Next to your operational shifts, you will also support the Cluster Management Team with ongoing projects and targets. But you also start and lead your own project(s). These projects will vary, but are all about innovating and improving, sustainably. Feel free to share your own thoughts!
A day in the life of…
Supporting different operational departments with targets
Thinking, proposing and developing ideas to improve products or processes
Advising together with the Head of Operations and the managers of the departments on operational aspects in which obstacles are discussed with possible solutions and a step-by-step plan for improvement
Suggesting improved working methods
