The Elevator General Manager programme aims to develop a group of talented, internationally mobile people and fast track them to General Management positions within 5-8 years of starting the Programme.
Elevator consists of an 18-month training programme which encompassess two international 9-month placements. During your placements, you will combine operational, all-round experience working in the 4 main hotel business areas of Operations, Business Development, Human Resources and Finance. You will also participate in off-the-job training and have business driven projects to complete.
During Elevator your progress is constantly assessed, so you always know how you are developing. As the programme is so flexible, it will take into account all training that you have had to date and build on it, rather than making you repeat things unnecessarily.
Benefits:
The Programme is designed to give you the foundation knowledge for your journey to GM through a broad based management learning experience across all core functions of the hotel.
It is an 18 month programme based on two placements in two different countries and/or Regions. It includes:

- Virtual Classrooms and Hilton University e-modules
