The Louvre Hotels Group Business & Service Management Certificate seeks to improve access to strategic positions for hotel managers in larger establishments, head office functions, group-wide projects and international postings.
This certified training is also a means of encouraging internal promotion and developing the talent within the group.
The certificate will cover a number of targeted themes to help prepare high-potential hotel managers for greater responsibility, including financial management, commercial management, yield management, management of cultural diversity and performance through innovation, which is a key and inherent notion in the values of the Louvre Hotels Group and its Corporate University U, the firm said.
The training will take the form of six seminars run by top speakers, many drawn from the Ecole de Savignac. It will last for 304 hours, or 38 days over the course of a year.
