Inviting People to Reach Higher with Hyatt
At Hyatt, we’re passionate about people and opening doors to new opportunities. True to our company’s purpose – we care for people so they can be their best – we have worked with community-based organizations around the world for decades to help people rise to their full potential.
RiseHY is our global program designed to reach untapped talent, including Opportunity Youth and beyond, to the hospitality industry. Hyatt and Hyatt hotels have set a goal in 2018 to bring 10,000 Opportunity Youth, people aged 16 to 24, who come from under-resourced communities and are disconnected from the economy by not working and not going to school into careers in hospitality, by end of 2025. At Hyatt, we’re in a unique position to be part of the solution because hospitality is an industry where people can truly rise out of entry-level roles and build meaningful, life-long careers.
All hiring by Hyatt hotels is subject to applicable law, which may include without limitation non-discrimination and minimum age requirements.
