north america college recruiting: management training

Starwood offers a Management Training program for graduates that exposes them to the places, people and practices that will help set the tone for their success throughout their careers. Trainees concentrate in rooms, food and beverage, culinary, revenue management, finance or sales and rotate through other areas in the hotel to learn from leaders in some of the most successful Starwood hotels. The length of training varies from 6 to 18 months depending on discipline. At the completion of the training, each participant is placed into an assistant manager, manager or other appropriate position, usually at the same hotel where they trained.

These opportunities are limited to current undergraduates attending school with work authorization in the location of the position (U.S. or Canada).  Experienced, non-student candidates and those without appropriate work authorization are invited to search for current career opportunities.

At Starwood we have high expectations for each associate we hire. The environment we create for our managers includes programs that provide:

  • Training and development in functional areas, leadership skills and rotational exposure
  • Performance-based salary increases and bonuses
  • Succession planning to help get you into the next progressive set up
  • Annual assessments of talent, skills to guide career planning
  • Productive feedback from managers, direct reports and peers
  • Opportunities for projects, task force assignments in other hotels

We recruit for Management Trainees during the fall and spring. Students who attend the schools listed on our campus roster are advised contact their career services office for instructions, and to complete an online application during the application period in order to be considered. We will next accept applications for Management trainees in September 2009. Please come back to this page for instructions at that time.
