Cairo, Egypt, 8 July 2014

Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort is supporting the local economy by providing job opportunities for residents of surrounding communities following the staging of two recent job fairs in the area. 

The initiatives, one in Bahta - Sohag Governorate - in cooperation with the Bahta Youth Sporting Club and the second, in partnership with the Employment and Job Orientation Fair and held recently in El Minya Stadium in the governorate of El Minya, were a huge success with the result of ten new appointments in roles across the hotel.

"Supporting the local community is something Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort has always done and one of the reasons it was important to us to seek new recruits from the local communities in Hurghada," said Michail Michail general manager of Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort. "Whether we're educating students about the basics of environmental sustainability for Earth Day, supporting orphans, or providing training workshops for students in the hospitality field, we do more than just say we're helping the local community. At Hilton Worldwide, we devote time to help make a difference to the lives of Egyptians every day by providing support assistance with jobs and training so they can, in turn, support their families and the greater community."

The two career events enjoyed the backing of local organisations as a means to connect local companies with job-seekers while offering career guidance and possible job opportunities for the local community. The candidates had insightful discussions with the HR Team from Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort who shared their knowledge, expertise and experiences working in the hospitality industry.

The 10 new team members all received full orientation into Hilton Worldwide policies, procedures and industry standards, as well as comprehensive job skills training for their work as public-area housemen and stewards.

With the success at recent job fairs, management at Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort are now planning to expand their recruitment initiatives and partner with more careers fairs and events in the future.
