Mumbai, October 17, 2019: Ginger has announced its partnership with the Institute of Hotel Management-Aurangabad (IHM-A), one of the country’s top hotel management institutions, to launch the ‘Ginger Leadership Program’ that will enable IHM-Aurangabad students to achieve Hotel Manager positions, akin to General Manager positions, in a short span of five years.
Speaking about the program, Deepika Rao, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ginger said, “The Ginger Leadership Program has been created specifically to meet the career aspirations of young talent in hospitality. Our partnership with IHM-Aurangabad underlines our commitment to build a strong talent pool of hospitality professionals in the country, who will be valuable assets to Ginger”.
Through the program, within a period of two years, a potential candidate will progress in the job to the level of Assistant Hotel Manager with leadership inputs, eventually leading to the position of Hotel Manager by the end of the fifth year. The pre-selection process for this program has been digitally enabled in partnership with GlobalGyan Academy of Management Education via an intuitive game-based mobile application, followed by video screening, group discussion and final one-on-one engagement with the prospective candidates.
Prof. (Dr.) Satish Jayaram, Principal and Director at the Institute of Hotel Management-Aurangabad, is highly enthused with the first set of students being evaluated from the institute. “We are delighted to participate with Ginger Hotels in the Ginger Leadership Program.
