Graduate Privileged Partners

Outstanding opportunities for outstanding students…

Graduate Privileged Partners is a competitive recruitment program designed to connect both of our schools’ highest achieving final year students with a select group of Industry Partners. This program is almost unique for hospitality management schools in Australia and provides the right students with a fast start to their career.

With strict criteria for academic performance, practical skills training, and industry experience and evaluation, successful candidates are selected and recommended to Industry on graduation.

Graduate Privileged Industry Partners in 2009 are:

• Accor
• Hyatt
• Starwood
• Toga
• Marriott
• Four Seasons

The program is conducted in the final academic year and includes personal interviews, familiarisation and induction sessions. Our Industry Partners make the final selection to fill positions in their graduate and corporate management programs or for a role with their company that provides secure career growth prospects.

What our GPP say

Samantha Walder

Director of Human Resources, Four Seasons Hotel Sydney

The GPP program allows us unique opportunities to meet and recruit the best possible candidates for crucial roles within our organisation. Not only does this program increase communication between students and the industry, it also encourages the ongoing development of talented young individuals by tailoring their skills to the most relevant career opportunities available.

Cathy Sinden

Recruitment & Training Manager, Four Points By Sheraton Sydney

It has been a great honour for Starwood to participate in the GPP program and one that has been taken very seriously. We believe the program benefits Starwood as much as the students wishing to gain invaluable industry experience with a global leader. We constantly strive to work with the graduates to assist them in achieving their career goals.

Ms Natasha Rasheed

Director of HR, NSW and VIC, Marriott International

The program helps us identify the high achieving students. We welcome the opportunity to share information about our company culture and career opportunities and help students identify the best fit for them.
