Your role in our team:

· Thanks to a training plan, you’ll know in advance which departments you’ll get to know—making the anticipation even greater!

· So you can stay focused, you’ll alternate between on-the-job training and vocational school

· We’re proud of our trainees, and we show it! That’s why we give our second-year trainees the opportunity to attend the Marriott Group’s national “Trainee Conference” and meet other hotels, trainees, general managers, and HR managers—the perfect time to network for the future!

· We want you to have an experience! That’s why we give you the opportunity to participate in the trainee exchange (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) during your first year of training and get to know our sister hotels as part of a two-week program

Here’s what we’re looking for in you:

• First things first: You want to make your dream a reality and start your career in the international hospitality industry
• You’re eager to grow and develop every day—and to do so alongside a team that supports you
• You’ve earned your vocational diploma and, ideally, have already gained experience in the restaurant or hotel industry
• Your professional and communicative nature sets you apart—whether in German or English
