New sales management programme at Oberoi

The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) has announced the introduction of a new programme on sales management, which will train graduates for a long-term career in hospitality sales.

The 18-month-long Sales Management programme is designed to train graduates through a combination of academic study and comprehensive on-the-job training with The Oberoi Group.

"The Sales Management programme has been launched with the aim of helping young aspirants who wish to make a career in hospitality sales by giving them the opportunity to train at some of the best hotels in the world under the guidance of professional hoteliers," said OCLD Dean Huvida Marshall here on Sunday.

"The programme is a testament to The Oberoi Group's commitment to selecting and training the best talent to be the next torch bearers of the organisation's legacy," she added.

The selection process for the programme is on. The course is expected to commence in July next year.

"The programme has been developed to create the next generation of managers and is the foundation of a career with the group," Marshall said.

The course consists of nine months of academic and practical inputs at The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development campus in Delhi and nine months of on-the-job training in the various hotels of The Oberoi Group.

"We have instituted robust systems for the continued development, management and delivery of a globally benchmarked curriculum. The focus is not just on developing the technical competence of associates," the dean said.

"The curriculum also develops their personal attributes, leadership style and above all inculcates in them the service values that ensure that we continually endeavour to surpass our guests' expectations," she added.
