Our Culture
YOUNG is built for people who move fast, communicate clearly and take responsibility. We value truth, impact, precision and continuous improvement. If you want real growth, real responsibility and real speed, you’ll fit right in.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This Is Not a Classic Internship
The YOUNG Hospitality Internship is a high-ownership, real-operations learning track.
You are not here to observe.
You are part of the engine.
This role exists to:
- Add real operational capacity to YOUNG Hospitality
- Train future YOUNG operators through responsibility, rotation and execution
If you want comfort or slow learning, this is not for you.
If you want to grow fast inside real operations: read on.
Who We’re Looking For
- Hospitality students or recent graduates (primarily from Spain)
- Strong interest in service, operations and execution
- Comfortable in fast-paced environments with direct feedback
- English required (Spanish a plus)
How the Internship Works
- Duration: 6 months (extension up to 12 months based on performance)
- Working model: full operational shifts, no shadowing
- Standards: speed, clarity, presentation and ownership
You are scheduled as part of the team from day one.
Rotation & Responsibilities
You rotate across the YOUNG Hospitality ecosystem to gain a full operational view:
Hotel Operations
- Front office: check-ins/outs, reservations, guest communication
- Daily hotel rhythm, systems and service standards
Food & Beverage
- Breakfast service, runners support, events setup & breakdown
- Service flow, timing, cleanliness and teamwork
YOUNG Coffee
- Coffee stations and customer-facing execution
- Speed, quality and accountability under pressure
Support Operations / Workspaces
- Setup, stock control, planning and checklists
- Execution discipline behind the scenes
Rotation is earned, not automatic and based on business needs.
You move once you can run tasks independently.
Learning by Doing
At the end of each rotation, you deliver a short Improvement Snapshot:
- What worked well
- Where friction exists
- Practical improvement ideas
- Personal learnings
This trains you to think like an operator, not just an executor.
What Success Looks Like
By the end of the internship, a successful intern:
- Runs core operational tasks independently
- Delivers consistent service quality
- Shows ownership and accountability
- Understands the full YOUNG Hospitality ecosystem
High performers may:
- Extend the internship
- Transition into paid roles
- Stay within the YOUNG ecosystem
What We Offer
- Real operational experience across hotels, F&B, coffee & workspaces
- Accommodation provided (shared, close to operations)
- Daily breakfast + one main meal per working shift
- A strong learning curve inside a fast-growing hospitality group
