Protea hotel Learnership Programme
Protea Hospitality Group has always believed that in order to achieve the levels of service excellence that we strive for, we need to hire people that are well suited for our industry and then equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to deliver quality service consistently.
In terms of this commitment towards developing the competencies of Protea people, the “Protea Hotels Institute for Professional Development (PHIPD) – Achieving Excellence Through Quality Training” was launched in January 2000.
For more than 20 years the Protea Hospitality Group has been running two separate in-service training programmes in hospitality management and professional cookery respectively. These two programmes result in externally recognised qualifications and more than 60% of our senior management, hotel general managers and executive chefs in the company today have come up through these ranks.
