Voyage: Training tomorrow’s leaders today
Marriott International welcomes recent university graduates to experience the career development adventure of a lifetime and a world of leadership opportunities.

Voyage is a full-time, paid development program. As an associate and trainee, you’ll build upon the skills you developed in school by participating in real world assignments.
About the journey
Voyage is an elite, award-winning program that provides a combination of hands-on, discipline-specific training and a leadership-focused curriculum.

- Engineering
- Event Operations
- Event Planning
- Food & Beverage Operations
- Human Resources
- Revenue Management
- Rooms Operations
- Sales & Marketing

When you join Voyage, you gain access to Marriott’s senior leaders and coaches and have many opportunities to stand out. You’ll participate in mini-rotations across the disciplines to learn firsthand how to manage various hotel functions and to connect with current and former Voyage participants through our social collaboration tools. Voyage is a 18 months full-time program. You’ll immediately be immersed in our rich culture and portfolio of global brands to learn how Marriott sets the standard of industry excellence.

Voyage participants learn by doing! You’ll be fully immersed in the day-to-day operations of a hotel. If accepted into this elite program, you will:
