Accor has unveiled its Indigenous Hotel Traineeship program to provide career pathways and development opportunities for young Indigenous talent.

Accor Pacific chief operating officer PM&E, Adrian Williams, said “We offer our trainees infinite avenues for career development and growth, a culture of inclusivity that is open to all, and open pathways to travel and work around the world, while respecting and valuing individual personalities.

“Through this new traineeship program, we know we’ll secure incredible talent who will enjoy a rewarding career with Accor.”

The traineeship program forms part of Accor’s nation-leading Indigenous Careers Program, which has placed more than 2,500 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander team members into positions at Accor since its inception in 2015.

In New Zealand, Accor introduced a pilot initiative, the Tangata Whenua Program, to enhance career opportunities for young Māori.
