At Amber Job, we believe that the heart of a luxury resort is the team that keeps guests smiling. Today, we are thrilled to share the success story of Habtam, who recently wrapped up a transformative three-month Erasmus+ internship within a high-energy Animation and Entertainment department.

Stepping into the colorful, fast-paced world of the resort's Kids Club, Habtam took on the vital role of creating magical, safe, and educational experiences for young travelers from all over the globe.

🎨 Inside the Kids Club: Energy, Sports, and Education

The Kids Club is a dedicated sanctuary designed to keep the resort's youngest guests engaged, active, and entertained throughout their vacation. Habtam jumped straight into the action, becoming a core pillar of the daily animation programs:

  • Activity Planning: Actively collaborating on the design, scheduling, and implementation of daily entertainment and educational routines.

  • Sports & Games: Leading and supervising a diverse range of sports activities, ensuring every child stayed active while remaining completely safe.

  • Guest Experience Operations: Learning the inner workings of a resort's entertainment branch and realizing just how crucial high-quality animation is to the overall reputation of a luxury property.

🌍 A Masterclass in Multicultural Teamwork

A busy resort is a melting pot of languages and cultures, and Habtam’s working environment was no exception.

Surrounded by an international team of professional entertainers, fitness instructors, and experienced coordinators, Habtam learned the true meaning of synergy. Working closely with colleagues from different backgrounds proved that while language and culture may vary, the universal language of a smile and hard work connects everyone.

🧠 Reflections on Growth: Building Future Hospitality Leaders

Spending three months keeping up with the relentless energy of hundreds of holidaymaking families is the ultimate fast-track for personal and professional growth. Habtam returns from the placement with a massive skill upgrade:

  • Independent Decision-Making: Developing the sharp confidence needed to make quick, independent choices on the floor when situations shift.

  • Professional Confidence: Stepping out of the comfort zone to lead large groups of international children and communicate effectively with their parents.

  • Industry Readiness: Gaining a profound, hands-on understanding of leisure, hospitality, and guest relations that simply cannot be taught in a university lecture hall.

"On a personal level, I learned to work with greater confidence, make decisions independently, and appreciate the value of teamwork. I believe this experience has better prepared me for my future career in the tourism industry and has motivated me to continue developing my skills in the fields of leisure and hospitality." — Habtam
