WHAT IS A HOSPITALITY TRAINEESHIP?

A Hospitality Traineeship consists of a 24 month contract on a full time basis (i.e. you will work a minimum of 38 hrs per week) with HGT as your legal employer. HGT leases you to a host employer who supervises your training for the duration of your contract of training.
