The IHG Brand Standards internship is a six month internship programme specifically designed for university undergraduates that enables them to gain experience in project management with the help of our Brand Standards Management and Implementation team. This program is designed to provide hands-on experience with working with hotels, tools/systems and with different functional experts. On-the-job learning will be complimented with e-learning via IHG’s Learning and Development modules, as well as mentoring and networking opportunities.
At the end of the programme, interns will acquire a deeper appreciation of business processes in the hospitality industry; technical and professional knowledge; practical experience in the execution of a project; and cross-cultural skills through participation and networking with corporate colleagues across the globe. The interns’ reporting manager will also evaluate performance in line with IHG’s Performance Management and Leadership Competency frameworks.
The Brand Standards Internship will offer the student a personal real-world insight and exposure to actual working life, an experiential foundation to their career choices, and the chance to build valuable business networks. We expect our interns to not only learn, but to add value with ideas and suggestions.
Throughout the modular programme, interns will have the opportunity to strengthen their professional skills and interpersonal relationships in a professional setting.
