Homestead is a company that values guest and associate service, and profitability. Career growth often comes through both lateral and upward moves that challenge and develop new skills. When opportunities arise throughout the company, our associates are considered first, based on their demonstrated skills, performance, location, and desire. Homestead's service-profit champions are our best source of management talent and future leadership. Upward Bound is an intensive, two-week property operations course for the training of new Area Managers, General Managers and Assistant General Managers.
New managers meet the senior officers and learn their vision for the company's future.
The evening group-study builds a support structure that assists each manager in preparing to certify in the required eight competency modules. Relationships formed last long after the course has been completed.
