Among the many departmental positions in the hotel, there is a special position, which has a unique attraction for fresh graduates and is regarded as a "shortcut" to quickly become a hotel manager. This is a unique scenery in the hotel-management trainee, referred to as "Guan Peisheng".

Management trainees and their systems were first initiated by American enterprises. It mainly means that large enterprises send some graduates or students with outstanding comprehensive quality to practice in various departments in rotation to understand the company's operation process, and then arrange specific positions for management according to their majors, characteristics and interests. At present, this system is widely used in hotel enterprises and groups at home and abroad, and is designed for hotel "fresh people" with good professional hotel education background or overseas study experience, but lacking practical work experience.

Why is the position of management trainee so popular? One of the most important reasons is that Guan Peisheng will suddenly become a hotel manager after about 12- 18 months of rotation, and complete the gorgeous transformation from a fledgling intern to a hotel manager in a short time. All this is undoubtedly quite attractive to any fresh graduate majoring in hotel management. How can you not be moved?

Management trainees are different from ordinary hotel interns. They don't need to focus on front-line service posts and jobs, but under the guidance of department managers, they concentrate on studying the management of various departments of the hotel to prepare for becoming department managers of the hotel in the future. Guan Peisheng can be positioned as a team leader in the hotel and promoted to assistant manager level after one or two years. Relatively speaking, the starting point is high and the lifting speed is fast. The management of students is divided into three stages: training period, internship period and internship period. Among them, the internship period is the longest, about 6 months, and I will practice in the basic departments of the hotel to learn about the operation and management knowledge of the hotel, such as: front office department, housekeeping department, finance department, catering department (service management, kitchen management), human resources department, marketing department and so on. Take Shangri-La Hotel, Pudong as an example. The hotel requires Guan Peisheng to have a bachelor's degree in related majors (overseas study/internship experience is preferred) and be fluent in English. After completing the three-stage departmental rotation training, he can be promoted to the head or assistant manager of the relevant department through hotel evaluation, and the monthly salary of Guan Peisheng is about 3,000 yuan.

So, getting the position of management trainee is equivalent to wearing a "yellow jacket"? Of course not, this mentality is also not desirable! On the one hand, the hotel industry is a service industry with strong practicality and operability. Hotel professional management talents not only need high professional quality, but also need solid practical operation ability and heartfelt perseverance. Management trainees only provide you with a platform to show your professional quality, language and communication skills. Pragmatic, practical, continuous learning and down-to-earth working attitude is always the only way to success. On the other hand, management trainees need to quickly complete their understanding of various functional departments and posts in the hotel within a year or so, which is a great test and challenge to their learning ability, psychological quality and physical quality.
