Giving Back and Empowering Futures: The Century City Conference Centre and Hotels Bursary Programme
In 2016, Century City Conference Centre and Hotels proudly launched a meaningful initiative that continues to transform lives, the annual Bursary Programme. Designed to empower deserving staff members, this program provides a valuable opportunity for personal growth and professional development in the hospitality industry
Through this initiative, selected candidates are able to pursue structured traineeships in key areas such as Hospitality Management, Food and Beverage Management, and Professional Cookery. The program blends practical industry experience with academic study, leading to a recognised qualification, either a Diploma in Hospitality Management or a Diploma in Professional Cookery and Kitchen Management.
Each year, eligible applicants take part in a thorough and competitive selection process. Final recipients are chosen based on their potential, dedication, and passion for hospitality. This get announced at our annual gala dinner for over 350 staff.
The traineeship includes hands-on learning at Century City Conference Centre, Century City Hotels, Urban Umami Restaurant and Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant. In addition to workplace experience, candidates complete formal study through the respected International Hotel School. Training is structured across departments, including Kitchen, Food and Beverage, Front Office, Rooms Division, and others. This gives trainees a complete understanding of hospitality operations.
The program spans three years, and on successful completion, graduates receive a qualification equivalent to NQF Level 7, which is internationally recognised.
To support their continued growth, graduates are also offered guaranteed employment within Century City Conference Centre and Hotels for one year following the completion of their studies. This program reflects our long-standing belief in investing in our people and creating real opportunities for success in the world of hospitality.
