Trainees in Action

Apprenticeships at the Lodge are future-oriented and anything but boring. Numerous activities offer you the opportunity to expand your knowledge in many directions, experience new things together, exchange ideas, and build new connections.

Trainee Orientation Weekwith rally and opportunity to get to know each other

During this week, you will learn important facts about daily life at the Lodge. Where to find things, how staff meals work, where the first aid kits are located… From getting to know the room categories to safety briefings, a lot of informative, organizational, and general topics are covered during your first week.

Talent Exchangean event-packed week at one of our partner hotels

During the Talent Exchange, our trainees visit partner hotels across Germany to experience work methods and operational workflows in other hotel environments. A trainee from the host hotel acts as your mentor and looks after you. After one week, roles are reversed, and that trainee learns about the operations in our hotel business.

Elo Trainee Camp joint learning and exchange with other trainees

The ELO Trainee Camp is a gathering place for trainees from the Exzellente Lernorte (ELO) hotel alliance. You will travel for two days to one of the ELO partner hotels across Germany. Here, general knowledge is imparted, specific workflows in conference hotels are presented, and a sense of community is intentionally fostered. Interactive workshops are just as much a part of the program as exchanging ideas with one another.
