Those starting out with AIDA can look forward to attractive opportunities with individual career planning services.
The job families at AIDA Cruises are called “Marine” and “Guests” on board and “Business” on land. There are exciting fields for skilled workers and managers to discover within all of these areas, including navigation and technology, catering and hotel services, wellness and exercise, as well as tourism and business administration. We want to recruit the best talent for all of our job families, which is why we organize our Career Days throughout Germany and Austria and are present at national and international career fairs. We also put on road shows and information days. On October 15, 2013, the first AIDA Career Club was held in Essen, Germany, with around 240 students from vocational schools and specialists from the catering and hotel industry. What made the event so special was that participants could get a very realistic whiff of working life while cooking or mixing cocktails with pros from aboard AIDA ships. The get-together, which took place at the renowned “Food & Flavour” cooking school owned by star chef Nelson Müller, facilitated intense interaction and provided comprehensive information about career opportunities at AIDA Cruises. Details about our job families, open positions and job profiles can also be found on our online career portal.
In order to get the attention of potential applications, we have an extensive career site and are present on social media. We also initiate a number of different career events and work closely with various universities. To make sure that prospective applicants can get comprehensive, specific information about career opportunities at AIDA from anywhere, we optimized our Career Portal for mobile end devices and expanded our social media presence on Facebook, XING, and LinkedIn in 2013. In addition to the specific job profile, the international atmosphere and many career opportunities at AIDA play an important role in making us an attractive employer. We also offer exciting challenges for artists, who can showcase their talent at our global castings. Our Career Days also support us in adding new, qualified members to our ever-growing AIDA family.
Our efforts are bearing fruit. In 2013 our online career portal reported more clicks than ever before.
Because AIDA is a globally operating company, we are also committed to recruiting and training our young talent around the world. We run training centers in the Philippines, India (two since the center opened in Goa), Indonesia, and the Ukraine, where we trained a total of 1,625 employees in 141 training programs, some of which lasted several weeks.
