The Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro welcomed 35 recent graduates of the Carvalho Hosken Hospitality School to work in the hotel during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The students, sponsored by the hotel owners and guided by the HR Department and Hilton Barra team, will work in various operational areas during the Olympics and Paralympics.
“You could see their eyes shining, discovering something new,” says Flavio Silva, Training & Quality Manager, Hilton Barra, of the students in the Bright Blue Futures program, “We are proud to welcome these young people, as most of them had never entered a hotel before. Now they’ve discovered a new world.”
