• Aged 17–22 at programme commencement
• Available to study full time in Abu Dhabi for the whole programme
• Able to work operational hotel hours

Previous hotel experience is not required.

What we are looking for:
A hotel is capital and concrete until someone walks in. After that it is a business of people, run by people, for people, so we weigh character as heavily as capability.

We are looking for genuine curiosity, leadership and emotional intelligence, an instinct for looking after people, resilience, strong communication in Arabic and English, and a realistic understanding that hospitality means commitment from the heart and starting on the floor.
