A Pioneer in Youth Empowerment
Shaping the Future Together
In today’s fast-paced world, young people need guidance and opportunities to find their way to success. Zoé's Paradise Waterfront Hotel on Samosir Island understands this and has created a one-of-a-kind 6-month mentorship program to provide exactly that.
Through hands-on experience in hotel operations, participants not only learn practical skills based on the esteemed Swiss model, but they also develop essential social and professional abilities that prepare them for their careers and personal growth.
From Pilot Project to Success Story
What began as a small pilot program with just three eager trainees has now grown into a thriving initiative with nine young individuals, all excited about the chance to develop through intercultural collaboration and real-world experience.
A Win-Win for All
This program isn’t just about raising the bar in the region; it’s setting different standards for the hospitality industry as a whole. By offering structured mentorship, Zoé's Paradise is opening doors for the next generation, helping both the youth and the community flourish.
A Sustainable Model for Growth
Zoé's Paradise’s mentorship program not only offers participants a promising start to their careers but also strengthens the local community in a meaningful, lasting way. It’s an example of how, by working together, we can create a future full of opportunities that extend far beyond the walls of the hotel.
No Government Support – Full Commitment, Backed by International Mentors
Inspired by the Swiss model, Zoé's Paradise not only offers excellent hospitality training but also fosters essential life skills that prepare participants for both professional and personal success. The entire mentoring program is fully funded by the hotel, highlighting its strong commitment to social responsibility and community development.
In addition to local efforts, the project is supported by experienced international mentors, including those from Germany. Their diverse expertise enriches the program, bringing global perspectives that significantly enhance the participants' learning experience. Despite receiving no government support, Zoé's Paradise continues to thrive thanks to this collaboration and its socially responsible approach.
