GLOBAL GRADUATES PROGRAMME
JobID: NAI000280-EN
What is your passion? Whether you’re into soccer, swimming or skiing, at InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), we are interested in YOU. We want people who apply the same amount of passion to their jobs as they do their hobbies – people who will help our core purpose to create ‘Great Hotels Guests Love’.
Who is IHG?
There’s never been a more exciting time to join IHG. With 7 brands and over 4,500 hotels across 100 countries and territories, we are experiencing phenomenal growth and are well on our way to redefining the industry. Our people are at the heart of our business and we are looking for talented graduates like you to be part of a dynamic and exciting company that values your passion and enthusiasm and encourages you to grow along with us.
What is The I-Grad Future Leaders Programme?
To us you’re not just a graduate, you’re our future leader. To get you there sooner, we have developed The I-Grad Future Leaders Programme; an 18 month management trainee programme designed for graduates who really want to fast-track their career in hospitality management. During the 18 months, you will…
- Learn the fundamentals of how the hotel industry works
- Develop skills and experience in hotel operations
- Drive projects which contribute directly to the success of your hotel
- Receive one-on-one coaching from the hotel’s General Manager
- Gain leadership experience with an internationally recognised hotel brand
- Be a part of the world’s fastest growing international hotel company
How is the I-Grad Future Leaders Programme structured?
The I-Grad Future Leaders programme has three phases:
Phase 1 – Learning the ropes
In the first six months you’ll learn how each of the functions within the hotel contributes to the overall success of the business. You’ll spend time working in each of the following teams:
- Rooms Division
- Food & Beverage
- Sales & Marketing
- Administration
- Kitchen
Phase 2 – Choosing your own path
Once you’ve had a taste of all these different functions, it’s time to choose an area you’d like to specialise in. We’ll put together a six month supervisory-level programme for you where you’ll get to dive deeper into the functional area of your choice.
Phase 3 – Preparing for your future
Everything you’ve done in the programme to this point has been about setting you up for success. In the final phase, you’ll get the chance to work as a leader in your specialist department and you’ll experience what life after completing the I-Grad Future Leaders programme will be like. You’ll also commit to a project that you’ll own and drive during your six months with the department.
What makes the I-Grad Future Leaders Programme different?
The real difference between our graduate program and others in the industry is that we don’t assume we know what you want, we ask. Each Management Trainee Programme is designed to meet the development needs of each successful candidate and take into account previous experience. No two people are alike, just as no two hotels are alike. Your program will be tailored to suit both the individual needs of the hotel and your individual development needs and personal goals.
What training and development will I receive as a Management Trainee?
With the General Manager as your personal coach, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the business while learning key aspects of operational management. Your development will include…
- On-going professional development including attendance of in house company training programs.
- Distance learning with Cornell University.
- Accelerated Leadership Development Training.
- Detailed comprehensive performance review with feedback.
- Exposure to a range of operational and managerial roles across departments.
What can I expect after programme completion?
Upon completion of the programme, our commitment is to ensure you are equipped to take on a Supervisor level role within the hotel.

- A bachelors degree, or are due to complete a bachelors degree by April 2013

The word social entrepreneur is no rigmarole, all a social entrepreneur means is a person who sees a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a social venture.
Ms Chelimo Fatuma Okeke remembers an incident at Guru Nanak Sikh Hospital in which a patient was rushed in after reacting to Penicillin, a condition called Stevens Johnsons Syndrome in medical parlance. After the case was handled successfully, Ms Omeke had many questions lingering through
her mind and through that she created an E-med facility of which she is the MD at only 33.
Could you be one step away from becoming your own boss and having the initial C.E.O enjoined in your name? Anything is possible; I will tell you how you can do just that.
Have a Plan.
The plan needs to articulate the problem the business proposes to solve, a vision for how that will be accomplished, and what uniquely qualifies the enterprise to do that. The plan should also include an introduction to the management team, a marketing plan, a product development schedule, and financial forecasts, including cash requirements.
Know Your Issue.
What problem are you going to tackle? The first step to becoming a social entrepreneur is identifying a social problem in need of a solution. Like with any business, it makes more sense to create a product around a known problem, rather than creating a product and then deciding which problem it may be able to solve.
Aspiring social entrepreneurs need not look too far to find social issues in need of solving: poverty, hunger, poor education, environmental damage, political suppression, disease, and social inequality are just a few problems that readily present themselves.
Know Your Customer
For a social venture you should know who your donors or sponsors are going to be. Who are willing to be with your venture for the long haul? They are the kind of people who are going to help you out as you start out. They have no financial gain from your venture and are only helping you out for the goodness of their heart and love for humanity.
Run It As A Business.
Focus! This is not a blog you are starting up for fun, it’s a business which is going to give you a name or maybe make you rich. Even for charities to be successful they have to be run in a way that usual businesses are run and that’s why I started by saying you should have a business plan as you embark on the journey of becoming a social entrepreneur.
Stay Committed.
Solving a problem is not a honeymoon. It requires determination and commitment. The biggest lesson a social entrepreneur must learn is that he or she can’t go it alone and you might need some sponsorship. With an online product that aims to solve an offline issue, results aren’t immediate, so you have to be patient. Finally, social issues aren’t often the easiest problems to be tackled in the digital world. It takes a committed entrepreneur to make an impact on the society.
