‘FINESSE’ – The Hilton EMEA Finance Graduate Development Programme

‘FINESSE’ – The Hilton EMEA Finance Graduate
Development Programme

What is the aim of the Programme?

The Finesse programme aims to develop a group of talented, internationally mobile Finance people
and fast track them to Finance Director positions
within 5-7 years of starting the Programme.

What will I do?
Finesse consists of a 24-month training
programme which encompasses two international 12-month placements in our hotels. During your placements, you will gain all-round Finance experience whilst working in all the main Finance functions. You will also gain exposure in the other key functional areas of Operations,
Business Development and Human Resources. You will participate in off-the-job training and have business driven projects to complete. Following successful completion of this 2 year programme you will then be assigned into a full-time Finance role in year 3.

During Finesse your progress is constantly
assessed, so you always know how you are
developing. As the programme is so flexible, it
will take into account all training that you have
had to date and build on it, rather than making
you repeat things unnecessarily.

Where will I be?
The location of your placements will depend on
availability and could be anywhere within the
Europe, Middle East and Africa region (subject to
Visa restrictions etc.)

When will I start?
If you are successful you will start the
programme on 1st September 2015.

Learning & Development:
The key focus here will be for you to complete the CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management
Accountants) Professional Finance qualification.
This is a highly regarded professional
qualification with global recognition in the
Finance profession. This process will be supported by Hilton in terms of both funding and learning support. The CIMA qualification typically takes 3 years to complete, so this will be completed during your first 2 placements and then completed in your 3rd year whilst working full-time within one of our hotel operations. During your 24-month training you will also take part in a number of other face-to-face training courses focused on other business competence areas. As a Finesse participant you will also have access to the Hilton University, our on-line learning and development tool, through which you can complete e-learning courses, learn a language on-line and make use of our on-line business library.

Support all the Way:
Finesse participants are supported throughout
their career progression with the Finesse
Mentoring Programme where senior managers
within Hilton take on the role of Mentors.
Are you someone who is Smart? Passionate?
Ambitious?
These are the questions that we ask any
potential candidate before they apply to the
Finesse Programme.

There are other key criteria for the Finesse
Programme:
• You must have a Bachelors Degree or equivalent in a Finance, Accounting or related subject
• You must speak, read and write English fluently
• You must be willing/able to live and work in the
Europe, Middle East and Africa Region
• You must be fully mobile within the 2 year
programme to join your 2 placement hotels
• You must have the desire to become a Finance
Director

candidates as long as the above criteria apply

Dear Scholars...
I realise there are so many people searching for these opportunities, but finding it difficult to come across.
I have therefore decided to post as much Study fellowship programmes and scholarships as i can lay my hands on.
The focus shall be both on local and international programmes, for undergraduates and postgraduates.

Goodluck and remain glued to the page
