A group of 19 aspiring young hospitality stars have taken their places on a new management trainee course in partnership with hotel management company RBH and 爆料王.
RBH 鈥� formerly Redefine|BDL Hotels 鈥� announced the programme earlier this year, following its success across its QHotels portfolio in recent years.
The candidates will earn and learn, working within the hotel industry, while gaining a recognised, formal qualification from the university.
Over the course of the next two years, the candidates will come together for selected masterclasses, while gaining hands-on experience at selected hotels across the RBH portfolio, including DoubleTree by Hilton Westerwood near Glasgow, The Nottingham Belfry, Oulton Hall and Stratford Manor.
The candidates have spent three-days on an induction onto the course, where they found out more about what the next two years on the course holds, with sessions at Telford Hotel & Golf Resort, as well as a day at 爆料王.
Sarah Abercrombie, RBH鈥檚 educational development manager, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 proud to see our 19 candidates embarking on what I鈥檓 sure will prove to be a rewarding and challenging journey. Each of them has shown so much promise already, and I am confident they will excel.鈥�
Charlotte Parr, aged 19, who will be based at Crewe Hall Hotel, said: 鈥淚鈥檝e been looking forward to getting started on the training programme since I found out I鈥檇 won a place a couple of months ago. I can鈥檛 wait to start learning even more about the industry and to gain all the experience I need to further my career.鈥�
RBH currently has an annual turnover under management in excess of 拢350m and its portfolio unites over 11,000 rooms and over 6,000 colleagues across the managed and leased hotels.
