The first mile

Hamburg, 28.08.2024

Bright faces full of joy, curiosity and a pinch of uncertainty... This characterised the first day of our new apprentices' apprenticeship. But the initial nervousness soon disappeared when they were warmly welcomed with coffee and sweet treats at our sister hotel, the Empire Riverside Hotel.

Before our 11 new apprentices, including 6 at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg, started their work, two orientation days were on the agenda. First and foremost, of course, these serve to provide the most important information and clear up any uncertainties before they really get started. The schedule also included the procurement of new work clothing, as without it, a smooth start to work would be almost inconceivable.

Last but not least, there were various rounds of introductions: The trainees got to know each other, as well as their colleagues from the HR department, management and other central departments, including Food & Beverage, Kitchen and many others. This laid the foundations for a good working relationship.

But what else is absolutely essential? Getting to know your own hotel and experiencing it from the guests' perspective before slipping into the role of an employee. This is precisely why the programme included hotel tours of both hotels, a meal in the waterkant restaurant and the Port restaurant as well as an overnight stay in their own training hotel, including breakfast. Our new recruits are now well equipped and nothing stands in the way of a successful start to their apprenticeship!

As well as taking some photos, we asked a few of the new recruits to spend a little longer in front of the camera on the first day of training. See what came out of it here:
