Management Development Program - Culinary

Company Description

A CAREER AS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE

Perhaps your day begins by scanning the weather forecast for snow in the peaks of the San Juan Mountains and delighting guests when you deliver the news that fresh powder will soon arrive in Telluride. Or maybe you book a couple on a sunset horseback ride through a deep desert canyon in Baja California, greeting them with champagne on their return, to celebrate their engagement.

When you are a Team Member at one of the Auberge Resorts Collection properties, you inspire incredible moments every day, working with passionate and talented people to create memories that live forever. Whatever role you hope to play, if this approach aligns with your passions, you could enjoy joining one of the Auberge Resorts Collection properties around the world.

The Management Development Program (MDP) is a 12-month on-property paid training and development program. The program path consists of 80% work experience and 20% professional development. The program is broken into two main phases:
