Marriott International: does its marriott voyage leadership development program sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyMarriott Voyage Leadership Development Program (12 to 18 months, post graduate)

Unconfirmed. Marriott International publishes no sponsorship policy for its marriott voyage leadership development program, so we cannot state a firm answer. Marriott International runs four named early career routes worldwide and Voyage is the graduate one. It is described as a post graduate, award winning global leadership development programme, paid, lasting 12 to 18 months and available in over 50 countries. The training happens inside a Marriott managed hotel rather than a classroom, combining discipline specific training with a leadership curriculum, and includes mini rotations across disciplines so a participant sees how different hotel functions are run. Completing it puts a participant on a path towards a management position. UK intakes are advertised as separate vacancies on the Marriott careers site by discipline and start month, with Food and Beverage among the disciplines and September starts used for the UK. The other three routes on the same page are the Hotel Internship Program, the HQ Fellowship Program which is onboarded each summer at the Bethesda, Maryland headquarters, and apprenticeships offered in the Europe and Asia Pacific regions with industry recognised qualifications. Nothing on the early careers page addresses visas, sponsorship or work authorisation.

“Voyage is Marriott International's post-graduate award-winning, global leadership development program. The duration of this paid program is 12-18 months and available in over 50 countries.”
Marriott International, from its own careers pages
The catch: The early careers page is global and written for a US audience, so UK specifics come only from individual UK vacancies, which appear and disappear by discipline and start month. Marriott has at times told applicants that UK opportunities would be available at a later date and asked people not to apply yet, so check the live UK listing rather than the regional one. The HQ Fellowship is United States based. Voyage placements are in hotels, which means shift work.
