Gulf Hotels Group hosted a recognition ceremony to honor a group of Bahraini students who successfully completed a volunteering program within the Food and Beverage Department.

As part of the initiative, the students worked with the catering team during a major international event held recently in the Kingdom, gaining valuable hands-on experience in a dynamic, real-world setting.

The program reflects the Group’s continued support for Bahrainization and national talent development, with several participants now being considered for employment opportunities within the Group’s hospitality operations.

Practical experience

As part of the Group’s national talent development efforts, the volunteering opportunity was designed to give students practical experience in areas such as service, operations, and guest interaction across different functions within food and beverage and guest service operations.

Mr. Ahmed Janahi, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Hotels Group, commented: “Developing national talent is at the heart of our long-term vision at Gulf Hotels Group. we are committed to giving ambitious young Bahrainis the opportunity to grow through hands-on learning and real-world exposure. By investing in their potential, we are shaping a highly skilled and passionate workforce that will lead the future of Bahrain’s hospitality sector.”

The students, who joined as part-time volunteers, were mentored by experienced F&B professionals.

The initiative helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-life service environments, preparing participants for potential careers in hospitality.

During the ceremony, certificates of appreciation were presented to the volunteers, and remarks from the management team applauding their dedication and enthusiasm.

In continuation of its efforts to foster national talent, Gulf Hotels Group also announced the upcoming launch of the second edition of its Summer Internship Program in 2025.
