College Recruiting: MBA Program
Starwood offers summer internships to first year MBA students across our
corporate locations in numerous business functions such as Marketing,
Operations, Real Estate, Finance and Sales. Our MBA interns are immersed in
their teams and given ownership of key projects and initiatives. Throughout the
summer, interns work closely with senior leadership at Starwood, are exposed to
core business processes, and are assigned a mentor to help guide their
development. Along with the focus on business and developmental goals, our
program provides some fun too, through social and networking activities and
events throughout the summer.
Most internships take place at our corporate and divisional offices in White
Plains, New York, located about 25 miles north of New York City in Westchester
County. Starwood utilizes Behavioral Interviewing, a method which asks
candidates to provide specific examples of particular behaviors or skills.
After interviewing on-campus with Starwood recruiters, prospective candidates
may have follow-up interviews with department managers. Starwood ensures its
interns are given the foundation to contribute and grow from the start. Our
full-day orientation is usually held in May and immerses interns into our
company culture, our brands, and divisional structure. Each intern is
assigned a sponsor and a mentor to assist throughout the summer.
Summer interns are considered for leadership opportunities in our company
following graduation. At Starwood, learning and development does not end after
graduation. Associates create individual development plans and work with their
managers to reach their goals. Career growth can include progressions through
positions with corporate teams and hotel leadership.
The MBA program is limited to first-year MBA students with continuous
authorization to work in the United States. If you are graduating and looking
for full-time opportunities, you are invited to search
for current career opportunities.
We visit a small number of selected schools to recruit for the MBA summer
program and interviewing starts January 2010. Students who attend our partner
schools are advised contact their career services office for instructions, and
to complete an
online application in order to be considered.
If we are not scheduled to visit your school please complete an
online application.
