PRESS RELEASE
Hilton is proud to announce the 2016 Careers@Hilton Live: Youth in Hospitality Month award winners.
Each day, Hilton Team Members spread the light and warmth of hospitality all over the globe – not only to guests, but also to their local communities. This May, the company hosted its third annual Careers@Hilton Live: Youth in Hospitality Month. Throughout the month, Hilton properties and corporate offices hosted a variety of events to raise awareness on the diverse career opportunities available through the hospitality industry.
Hilton Worldwide (No. 42 on the Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity) hosted 1,100+ events, contributing 78,300+ volunteer hours and reaching more than 102,600 youth, during the month of May. This impact brings Hilton one step closer to achieving their goal of reaching 1 million young people by 2019 through its Open Doors commitment – helping youth prepare for the future and reach their full potential.
