Early Careers
There are a number of ways to grow a career with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts; no matter where a valued employee starts with us, we strive to help them grow within the company. Two programmes are specifically designed for students who are working toward a degree in hospitality management.

Manager-in-Training Programme:
The Manager in Training (MIT) programme at Four Seasons is designed to provide a bridge between the education participants receive at our partner hospitality management university programmes and the operational reality of leading in a luxury hotel environment. During the 12-month programme, MIT participants will rotate through two operational leadership experiences based on their division of choice.  Additionally, MITs will be exposed to all aspects of the leader experience, assigned a strategic project, partnered with a senior leadership mentor, and provided with feedback throughout the program.

Internships (Seasonal University Partnership):
Four Seasons offers global internship opportunities known as the Seasonal University Partnership to university undergraduates who want to get a head start on their career with us. Designed as a 12-week experience, the Seasonal University Partnership is typically completed during the break between academic years. However, the programme can be extended based on the requirements of individual university curriculums. Participants are placed in a seasonal job but also engage in a self-directed learning programme that provides exposure to all aspects of the hotel operation including leadership team meetings, one-on-one interactions with division heads, and a strategic project.

Seasonal University Partnership experiences offer students first-hand experience in what a career would be like with Four Seasons.
