Programme Outline

Q: What does my program look like?

Your programme will be structured in a way that provides learning opportunities in departments that are relevant to your area of specialisation. Specialised traineeships are currently available in Food and Beverage, Rooms, Engineering (POMEC), Human Resources, Sales and Marketing.

The programme that is designed at the beginning of the traineeship should be adhered to in order that the set objectives are reached.

Core modules applicable for all Management Traineeship programmes Your programme will include a number of core modules that form the foundation of working effectively within a hotel operation. These include those areas with which you will have to effectively interact in the future. The program is designed so that you receive an introduction to all divisions of a hotel as part of their programme. For example, a Management Traineeship in Human Resources should include exposure to Food and Beverage, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Rooms, and POMEC. As a guideline, about 10% to 20% of the total time of your Traineeship should be allocated to working in associated areas and 80% to 90% in the area of specialisation.
