Be part of something bigger with Marriott
Hospitality isn’t just about hotels – it’s about people, opportunities, and building a future you can be proud of. With Marriott, you’ll get a taste of real careers, discover skills you already have, and explore where hospitality could take you.
A groundbreaking project to unearth the future of hospitality
Hospitality is full of opportunity - and we want more people to see what it's like.
Marriott International and Movement to Work have created these courses in the UK to open the doors wide, giving you a free, accessible way to explore the industry, try out different roles, and build confidence in your skills.
A virtual work experience is a free online programme that lets you test drive a career. In just a few hours, you’ll explore real jobs in hospitality, take part in interactive activities, and build the skills that employers value. You’ll also earn a certificate you can add to your CV or LinkedIn, helping you feel more confident about your next step.
At Marriott, you can be a part of something bigger than yourself, be inspired by what’s possible, and discover your own future.
Each of these Experiences is free and flexible. You can learn at your own pace, from anywhere.
Along the way, you’ll build real-world skills employers look for, like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
This is your chance to take the first step - toward a job, a career, and a future in hospitality.
These experiences are designed to give you more than information – they give you a space to learn and grow without the pressure. By the end, you’ll:
- Understand what different hospitality careers actually involve.
- Recognise which roles and skills feel right for you.
- Know the next steps you can take, from further training to applying for jobs.
