MIALD selects 18 junior hotel managers to join course
The new Aspiring Leaders will begin their course in April, starting with a two-day workshop focusing on professional development
The Master Innholders Aspiring Leaders Diploma (MIALD), the development programme designed to help people develop skills in the hotel industry, has selected 18 junior hotel managers and supervisors to join the 11th cohort of this diploma.
The 18 junior hotel managers and supervisors come from The Ritz London, Holiday Inn London Bloomsbury, London Hilton on Park Lane, Fairlawns Hotel and Spa, and One Hundred Shoreditch, to name a few.
Shortlisted candidates were interviewed at Innholders Hall on 30 March by a panel of hospitality professionals, including Dr Hilary Cooke, MIALD course director, Kalindi Juneja, CEO at PoB Hotels, Tim Hassell, estates director at Thurlestone Estates and Wallace Vincent, executive secretary at Master Innholders.
The new Aspiring Leaders will begin their course in April, starting with a two-day workshop focusing on professional development. Other modules throughout the year include people management, managing teams and leadership development.
Hilary Cooke, MIALD course director and owner of Merlin Consultancy, said: “I’ve been leading the MIALD program for 11 years now and every year I am blown away by both the volume and quality of the applications we receive and this year is no different.
“Being able to offer young professionals the training they need to help develop their careers is so rewarding, particularly at a time when training can be difficult to come by. I look forward to teaching this year’s cohort and seeing how they all grow and develop over the next 12 months.”
