Sandals Resorts International has unveiled an ambitious hospitality training program specifically designed to cultivate the next generation of Caribbean tourism professionals. The comprehensive 10-week initiative combines technical expertise with essential soft skills development, creating a pathway for young Caribbean nationals to enter the thriving hospitality industry.
The program offers specialized training tracks across five critical hospitality sectors: Food & Beverage services, Rooms Division management, Engineering maintenance, Landscaping design, and Administrative operations. This multi-disciplinary approach ensures participants receive industry-relevant training tailored to various hospitality career paths.
Successful candidates will benefit from an extensive package that includes professional soft skills development, hands-on practical training opportunities, a recognized Sandals certification upon completion, and eligibility for potential employment based on organizational needs. Participants will also receive a formal letter of recommendation and a stipend during the training period.
Eligibility requirements stipulate that applicants must be Caribbean nationals aged 18-30 with a genuine interest in hospitality careers. The program welcomes both individuals with formal training and those without previous experience, making it accessible to a diverse range of candidates. Essential prerequisites include CXC Mathematics and English qualifications, valid identification documentation, and a current Food Handlers Permit.
Prospective applicants must submit their resumes to the designated email address [email protected] before the February 13, 2026 deadline. This initiative represents a significant investment in Caribbean human resource development and regional tourism sustainability.
