About a decade ago, The Oberoi Group had launched a one-of-a-kind programme known as Systematic Training and Education Programme (STEP). It is a contemporary programme covering all aspects of Hospitality Training and Education to suit the requirements of today's environment.
STEP is a three year program meant for students who are about 18 years of age and have completed or are about to complete 12th standard. It offers comprehensive on the job training in Hotel Operations or Kitchen Operations at selected hotels of the Oberoi Group for a period of three years. Apart from training, STEP also includes facilitating education through a correspondence Bachelor's degree in Tourism Management from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
This holistic Hospitality Programme costs zero tuition fees. Instead, students are entitled to a monthly allowance, accommodation, meals on duty, uniform and medical insurance as hotel staff. Students are further provided with study materials and sufficient time to prepare for their ongoing undergraduate degree during their training at one of the group's hotels.
The programme offers training in the four main operations departments of a hotel such as Food and Beverage, Front Office, Housekeeping and Kitchen. Interestingly, the kitchen operations course includes training in the western and Indian kitchens at the hotel besides orientation in specialised sections such as bakery, pastry and the cold kitchen.
The students are also eligible to compete for admission to the Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development (OCLD) for a two-year postgraduate level programme to secure a first Executive posting with The Oberoi Group.
