Training Development Program: This was an important creative development period for me, during this time I gained immense knowledge of the hospitality and event industry as a whole. The course required a selection of 15 candidates from an application process of over 3000 to spend specific amounts of time in various departments across the Sun City resort, learning as well as understanding how the departments are managed and operated. During the time spent in these departments, the candidate works as an employee within that department. Upon completion, the RLO is required to complete a specific objective/project provided by the department head which is then evaluated as well as training.
