The hotel's General Manager, Médiatrice Umulisa, said the recruitment exercise aims to identify young professionals who will deliver high-quality service and contribute to the hotel's success.
'We want to give young people an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a real impact in the hospitality industry,' she said. Umulisa added that the selected candidates from the 140 participants will receive training before officially starting work.
Melissa Uwimpuhwe, one of the participating students, described the opportunity as a major step for aspiring professionals in the sector.
'This five-star hotel brings real opportunities for students like us. If selected, it will be a chance to gain experience and contribute to Rwanda's tourism and hospitality industry,' she said.
The Minister of Public Service and Labour, Christine Nkulikiyinka, praised the hospitality sector for its role in job creation and economic development, encouraging the private sector to invest in young talent.
'The hospitality and tourism sector plays a vital role in national development and youth employment. We encourage young people to take advantage of these opportunities and demonstrate professionalism,' she said.
The revamped Mövenpick Kigali now features 124 rooms, including premium suites, up from the previous 100. The hotel, previously rated three stars, has now achieved five-star status and will open with an estimated 160 staff members.
