Vatel Bahrain has launched “Explore Hospitality,” a two-week summer programme aimed at introducing young people aged 15 to 18 to career opportunities in the hospitality and tourism sectors.
The initiative
provides participants with first-hand industry exposure, helping them better
understand potential academic and professional pathways while highlighting the
growing demand for skilled talent in Bahrain’s tourism sector.
The programme supports
the Kingdom’s broader tourism development goals and aligns with the objectives
of Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.
Running for 10 working
days, the programme will take place at Vatel Bahrain’s campus and selected
four- and five-star hospitality partner venues, including hotels and cultural
and tourism destinations.
It will feature
interactive workshops, practical activities, professional mentoring and
workplace-based challenges designed to reflect real hospitality environments.
Through the programme,
participants will gain insights into different career opportunities within
hospitality and tourism while developing practical and transferable skills.
Vatel Bahrain said the
initiative aims to encourage young talent to explore the sector and make
informed decisions about their future education and career choices.
Sheikh Khaled bin Khalifa Al Khalifa,
General Director of Vatel Bahrain, said: “Explore Hospitality has been created
to inspire young hoteliers and introduce an industry that extends far beyond
traditional operational roles, bringing together leadership, creativity,
communication, culture, innovation and service excellence. The programme also reflects Vatel Bahrain’s
broader commitment to youth development and to promoting hospitality and
tourism as a rewarding field with diverse professional pathways.”
Fatema Ali, Director of Studies at Vatel
Bahrain, stated: “The programme encourages participants to explore their
interests while strengthening key capabilities such as communication, teamwork,
problem-solving, leadership and attention to detail. Through practical
challenges, they will learn to make decisions, develop ideas and present a
final hospitality concept to mentors and industry professionals, gaining
valuable experience in expressing their thinking, receiving feedback and
building confidence. The programme also helps parents support their children’s
academic and career choices by providing a clearer understanding of the sector
and the opportunities it offers across hotel management, tourism, events and
entrepreneurship.” -TradeArabia News Service
