From Elke
• We are pleased that we provided the young people 14 interesting days with positive working experience in a German Marriott Hotel and funny trips in the surroundings. We hope we could contribute to build self-confidence, because they were able to integrate successfully themselves in our team in a very short time. We are sure these working experiences will support them to find suitable jobs and work successfully on a career within the hospitality industry in the future. All the best for Emma, Kim and John.
