Hi everyone, saw that this is the most relevant thread to hospitality thus far so shall post my question here.

Anyone knows how's the income and career progression like for a fresh uni grad to enter into hospitality careers? Will it be difficult in terms of income progression if I am looking towards hospitality careers within our local market? FYI i do not have any work/study experience in hospitality. I am a business undergrad.

I just found out that IHG is having a fast track grad program 18 months. They wrote this on their website for an I-Grad:

"From the very start of the programme, you'll receive a salary and benefits package that is comparable to that of a hotel supervisor in the local market.

But that's not all. Depending on exactly where you're working, you might also be able to benefit from:

Incentive opportunities based on company and individual performance
Long term incentives available at select levels within the organisation
Medical, Dental, Life, and Disability Insurance
Pension or 401(k) retirement plans
Discounted hotel room rates for you and your family around the world
Paid time off and company designated holidays
Flexible work arrangements to help balance work and home
Health and wellness programs
Training, continuous education, and educational assistance
Employee discounts and special offers"

Thanks!
