Internship Overview

Based at the luxury Rock City Hotel resort in Nkwatia – Kwahu, Eastern Region Ghana. These internships for experienced and inexperienced individiuals offer the perfect chance to travel abroad whilst getting hands on experience in a luxury hospitality setting. All departments of the hotel are seeking interns across the vertical of hospitality including; Front Desk, Room Attendants, Bar & Nightclub Support, Restaurant & Pizzeria Support, General Management, Maintenance, Landscaping, Marketing and Chefs. Interns will be placed in their specific departments in accordance with their interest, the hotels needs and any relevant experience you may have.

Interns will be provided with a range of benefits that can be found below listed in detail along with a monthly minimum stipend of $100, able to increase dependant on duration and experience.

Located on top of the Kwahu mountain plateau the hotel offers breath taking views of the surrounding forests and mountains and gives you the ability to explore the local hiking trails and waterfalls in your free time.

The site is close to our volunteer houses and offices so there is always a high social aspect in your free time to socialise with like minded travellers as well as your colleagues and fellow interns.

As a huge driving force of development and employment in the area, a large focus of the recruitment process has been focused on hiring local people and youth that would otherwise not have the experience to get into the luxury hospitality sector. Due to this, the hotel is seeking for overseas interns to add to the team to bring a new flare and fresh point of view, hopefully being able to recall on their own travel and hospitality experiences within their home countries or whilst travelling.

As Rock City Hotel is the only international level hotel in the area, the local hospitality workers have not had the same exposure to higher standards in place at other luxury, high starred hotels. It is the goal of the hotel management that as a team we grow and learn together, gaining valuable first hand experience for the staff team to grow their skill set and offer the opportunity to become dedicated hospitality experts in their field.

• Monthly stipend/allowance, minimum of $100 depending on duration, assignment and experience.
• Transport between work and home each day.
• One meal included daily whilst on shift.
• Shared accommodation with other interns and colleagues.
• Airport Transfers – From Kotoka International Airport to Rock City Hotel.

You will be living in shared accommodation with your colleagues and fellow interns, the hotel vehicles will provide transport for you each day to and from work.

Initially when you arrive at Kotoka International Airport, we will also arrange for an airport transfer to collect you and bring you on the 3 hour journey to Nkwatia in the Kwahu mountains.

Your working day will greatly depend on which department you are assigned to and the workload at that relevant time of the year. You will be assigned a schedule to carry out throughout your shifts and will work alongside your fellow interns and colleagues at the hotel.

You will be assigned to one of the departments and work alongside the hotel employees to grow and develop as a team. You will be under the supervision and care of the relevant department manager and General Management of the hotel. Our Atlas team will be close by running our development projects should you need any assistance or advice but after your initial orientation day you will be assigned to the lovely hotel team to begin your journey!

A willingness to embrace a new culture and different way of life is crucial in a successful working abroad placement. You should be happy to get stuck in to all types of work and dedicated to carry out your duties to the best of your ability.

One of your line management team will always be around should you have any queries or concerns throughout your trip. Your benefits package will be delivered to you upon a timely manner and we will work with you for your own personal growth journey to flourish in the hospitality sector.

You should bring smart and casual clothing along with some basic toileteries to set yourself up for the initial period. Some small personal items to make your room feel more homely be appreciated for our longer stays.
