OUR EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
For three consecutive years, our HR Department launched the Executive Development Programme and that will allows candidates and interns to develop their professional careers in Palladium Hotel Group's hotels and offices in the Americas and Europe. These programs seek to develop and improve management skills, strengthen leadership skills, exchange ideas between people from different backgrounds and experience, and improve knowledge of all departments that would greatly enhance future management abilities.
Also, we are currently selecting future hotel managers for Europe and the Americas within our strategic plan for expansion and growth in these regions.
