THE Hastings Hotels group has launched a recruitment drive to find 12 new trainee managers.
Now in its sixth year, the trainee management programme has been designed in association with the Ulster University to help identify and develop the hospitality managers of the future.
Throughout the two-year development scheme, each successful trainee manager will graduate with a diploma and a full-time management position in one of Hastings Hotels’ six properties, including the Europa and Grand Central hotels.
Participants will also have the chance to work at Titanic Belfast.
Managing director of Hastings Hotels, James McGinn said: “Since it was first introduced six years ago we have invested in the personal and professional development of our trainees who have gone on to work in full-time management positions across Hastings Hotels.
“The programme has been a huge success, both for the group and the individuals who have taken part, for example, two of our current general managers completed it including Niall Burns who is at the helm of the five-star Culloden Estate & Spa.
“We are dedicated to helping nurture the next generation of talent and encouraging and enabling employees to hone their skills and achieve a rewarding career in this exciting industry,” added the hotel boss.
