Marriott International has reinforced its commitment to Egypt with the launch of Tahseen, a unique hospitality training program developed in response to a growing need for talent within the industry.

Marriott International reinforces its commitment to Egypt with the launch of Tahseen, a unique hospitality training programCreated in partnership with Helwan University and Professional Development Foundation (PDF), the program is focused on fast tracking the next generation of hospitality leaders from Egypt by providing them with firsthand experience and a springboard to launch successful careers in the industry. The company unveiled the program at a signing ceremony graced by the honorable minister HE Khalid Atef Abdul Ghaffar, minister of higher education and scientific research, Egypt.

Also present at the occasion was Arne Sorenson, president and chief executive officer, Marriott International, he said: “Marriott International is a company that believes in putting people first and we are committed to giving our associates world class training and the opportunity to grow and reach their potential, both personally and professionally. Our vision is to develop future leaders, empowered with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to be successful within the hospitality industry, both regionally and globally. Building a sustainable and robust hospitality education program like Tahseen, that nurtures and builds national talent, is indeed key to our success.”

“Over the last four decades we have worked hard to consciously develop local talent and prepare them to become future leaders in hospitality,” said Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director Middle East and Africa, Marriott International. “Today we employ over 10,200 associates across our hotels in Egypt with 99% of them being Egyptian nationals. Hospitality comes naturally to Egyptians. We therefore saw an opportunity and felt the need to play a more active role in the development of local talent in a formal and structured manner.”

Tahseen, was first launched by Marriott International in Saudi Arabia in 2017 and received very encouraging results paving the way for a wider regional roll out.  Egypt is a strategic growth market for the company and was therefore an obvious priority. Tahseen, which is set to commence in September 2018, provides the technical training that complements the newly initiated Hotel Management & Operations Bachelor’s Degree program created through the joint efforts of the PDF and Helwan University.
