The People & Culture Internship supports the hotel’s Human Resources team with recruitment coordination, employee records, onboarding, training administration, engagement activities, internal communication and general office tasks. Candidates are typically expected to be enrolled in or recently graduated from a hospitality, business or Human Resources programme, with strong communication, organisation and interpersonal skills. A professional attitude, discretion when handling confidential information, willingness to learn and comfort working in a multicultural hotel environment are important. Basic computer skills, especially Microsoft Office, and good spoken and written English are generally required. Previous hospitality or administrative experience is helpful but may not be essential for an internship.

Working in United Arab Emirates

The UAE is not an island, but it offers coastal living, beaches and island destinations such as Palm Jumeirah, Yas Island and Bluewaters Island. Dubai provides strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, events, retail, aviation, finance and technology, with many international hotels recruiting across departments. The culture is multicultural and generally welcoming, while local customs require respectful dress, behaviour and awareness of Islamic traditions. Lifestyle options range from beaches, restaurants and shopping to desert activities and cultural attractions. Employers normally arrange an employment or internship visa, medical checks and Emirates ID procedures; requirements vary by contract and nationality. Candidates should confirm whether accommodation, transport, meals, insurance and visa costs are included. Dubai is convenient and modern but can be expensive, particularly for housing. Public transport is useful, though many resort employees rely on staff transport. गर्म
