Aminess Hotels & Resorts, one of the most desirable employers in tourism, is relaunching its StartAM traineeship programme, this time for the southern Dalmatian destinations of Orebić and the island of Korčula. Applications are open until 30 April, with the expected start dates in May and June 2026.
What is StartAM?
StartAM is a structured 12-month traineeship programme that gives ambitious and motivated candidates the opportunity to gain broad, hands-on experience in hospitality, with the option to continue building their career within the company after completing the programme. During the programme, candidates will have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, develop professional and personal competencies, gain insight into the work of all corporate functions and hotel operations departments, and build a strong foundation for a long-term career at Aminess.
„The StartAM programme is designed for young people interested in tourism, who are communicative, motivated to grow professionally and eager to work in an inspiring team environment. Through this programme, we give them the opportunity to test themselves in a real business environment and see first-hand how one of the leading tourism companies operates behind the scenes, while also potentially finding their own career path within Aminess. The experiences of past participants have been extremely positive – for many, this programme was an important step in their career development and in gaining concrete knowledge and skills. I invite everyone eager to learn and gain new experience to apply and make the most of this opportunity“, said Jana Baksa, Human Resources Director.
Insight into all key business segments
During the traineeship programme, selected candidates will be introduced to key business segments and hotel operations, including front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, hotel management, as well as corporate functions in marketing and sales, procurement, human resources, IT and other departments. In this way, they will gain a comprehensive understanding of how the hotel system and corporate functions operate, as well as how an outstanding guest experience is created.
Who can apply?
Candidates are expected to have a college or university degree, with preference given to those with a background in economics or hospitality and tourism. English proficiency is required, while knowledge of a second foreign language is considered an advantage. In addition, candidates should hold a Category B driving licence and be proficient in computer use, including MS Office programmes.
