Radisson Hotel Group expands Career Fest 2025 to engage wider audiences

Radisson Hotel Group announces Career Fest 2025, its largest-ever career festival designed to inspire, upskill, and attract the next generation of hospitality professionals. Career Fest underscores Radisson Hotel Group’s reputation as an employer of choice in one of the world’s most dynamic industries.

Building on the success of previous Career Month and Career Fest editions, this year introduces an expanded, unified format that combines both internal and external activations. Career Fest 2025 reflects the Group’s commitment to investing in people, championing diversity, and setting new standards in talent development.

The October event will feature a comprehensive calendar of inclusive activities tailored for every stage of a hospitality career. Global, regional sessions and local activations will include pivot stories; level-up sessions; advice from leaders; on-site hotel tours and Q&A sessions with general managers; interactive workshops on building a clear, broad and fast career plan, crafting an attractive CV and standing out during interviews; and trends in the hospitality industry, amongst others, to empower participants with real-world tools and insights.

All activities across the month will align under three strategic pillars, ensuring global consistency while allowing for local adaptation:

1. Find your passion: Connecting internal and external talent with meaningful career pathways across Radisson’s global portfolio

2. Develop your career: Delivering practical workshops, leadership tools and pathways, and career resources for upskilling and growth

3. Inspire to take the next step: Celebrating the stories, journeys, and achievements of the Group’s team and hospitality professionals globally.

New for 2025: Career Spaces

This year marks the debut of Career Space, a dedicated digital hub offering internal teams direct access to career resources, tools, and opportunities, as well as the launch of a career site for external candidates. The new platform highlights Radisson’s Employee Value Proposition across four pillars—Build a Great Career, Live the Magic of Hospitality, Experience the Team Spirit, and Lead with Your Ambition—making it easier than ever to pursue a rewarding career in hospitality.

Celebrating people, globally

With a global presence spanning more than 1,580 hotels worldwide, Radisson Hotel Group employs one of the industry’s most diverse workforces, encompassing 142 nationalities. Delivering Career Fest in a hybrid format, with global virtual sessions complemented by locally tailored activations across hotels and offices, ensures maximum accessibility and engagement. In India, two regional-focused virtual sessions are planned on 6th and 13th October as part of Career Fest 2025.

Iñigo Capell, Executive Vice President and Global Chief People & Resources Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “At Radisson Hotel Group, we believe hospitality is one of the most dynamic and rewarding industries. Career Fest is our chance to showcase why Radisson continues to be the employer of choice globally. We want to inspire the next generation, empower those already in the industry, and provide the tools and support people need to thrive. This year’s programme highlights the possibilities within hospitality and the unique culture at Radisson.
