A successful career fair, called Hilton Hospitality Unlocked, was hosted by Hilton properties in the Kingdom – including Hilton Bahrain, Hilton Garden Inn Bahrain Bay, Conrad Bahrain Financial Harbour and the soon-to-open Hilton Bahrain City Centre Hotel & Residences – in collaboration with Vatel Bahrain – Hotel & Tourism Business School.

47 enthusiastic students from the hospitality management school participated in the event and got a unique opportunity to explore potential career paths within the hospitality industry.

The diverse lineup of activities included seven interactive booths, each representing different departments within Hilton’s properties. These booths were designed as games and competitions, allowing students to engage with the various roles in a fun environment.

Participants had the chance to learn about multiple facets of hospitality, including front office operations, food and beverage services, event management and housekeeping, all while fostering a sense of excitement and camaraderie among peers.

“The Hilton Hospitality Unlocked career fair is a testament to Vatel’s shared commitment to developing local talent in the hospitality sector,” said Shaikh Khaled bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, General Director of Vatel Bahrain.

“Collaborating with Hilton allows Vatel Bahrain to provide our students with unique opportunities to engage with industry leaders and explore diverse career paths, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a dynamic workforce.”

Malak Raad, Learning and Development Manager at Hilton Bahrain, added: “We are thrilled to have hosted this career fair in collaboration with Vatel Bahrain.”

“At Hilton, we believe in nurturing the next generation of hospitality leaders. Events like Hilton Hospitality Unlocked not only provide students with valuable insights into our industry but also allow us to showcase the dynamic and rewarding career opportunities available within our hotels.

“By engaging students through interactive activities, we aim to ignite their passion for hospitality and help them discover their strengths within various departments.

“This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering local talent and supporting educational institutions in Bahrain.

“We understand that today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and we are excited to play a role in their professional journey. We look forward to building lasting relationships with these aspiring hospitality professionals and welcoming them into the Hilton family.”
