The Gulf Hotels Group, the leading company in the hospitality sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has announced the opening of registration in the summer training program for the year 2025, which comes as part of its continuous efforts to support Bahraini youth and enable them to gain practical experiences that pave the way for them to a promising professional future in the hospitality sector.
The program aims to raise the readiness of Bahraini students to the labor market, by providing them with the opportunity to gain direct practical experiences within a professional work environment, and to participate in practical training in various group hotels. Participants will be distributed in multiple departments such as the reception department, food and drinks, kitchen, marketing and sales, organizing events, human resources, information technology, financial affairs and accounting, purchases, maintenance and internal supervision, allowing them to identify various aspects of hotel work and develop the basic basic skills required.
The program extends over eight weeks starting from the first of July 2025, and it is dedicated to Bahraini students at the university stage in addition to the new graduates of relevant specializations. The trainees will benefit from professional supervision and guidance by specialized cadres throughout the program, and upon completion they will get a participation certificate, with the possibility of nominating outstanding people for employment opportunities or future training programs within the group. Commenting on the program, Mrs. Dalal Ibrahim, Director of Human Resources Department at the Gulf Hotels Group, said:
“The summer training program is not limited to practical training only, but also provides an integrated educational experience that opens professional horizons for participants in the hospitality sector. She added:” We are proud of the remarkable success achieved by the first version of the program last year. From this standpoint, we launch this year the second version with a focus on vocational guidance and field training, in the context of our continuous commitment to qualifying Bahraini competencies and enabling them to reach leadership positions in the future.
It should be noted that this program comes as an extension of the efforts of the Gulf Hotels Group in supporting national competencies, in the forefront of the “Future Program” launched by the group in 1974, and is one of its most prominent strategic initiatives. The program gives Bahraini youth the opportunity to study hotel management in prestigious educational institutions, in addition to the regular practical training in various operational departments. It also provides financial support that includes a monthly salary during the study period, and guarantees the participants to hold leadership positions within the group after graduation, which reflects the group’s commitment to strengthening Bahnah and developing national competencies in the hospitality sector.
