Hilton Worldwide’s internal university (which boasts five colleges with 2,500+ courses) educates owners and employees about hotel management, leadership, commercial service and more.

Talk about a win-win situation. Many of the reservations agents at this hospitality company work from home, but they can still take part in career programs that allow them to supervise teams, try out different positions or train new hires, all of which could eventually help them move into human resources or the managerial ranks. Leadership mentoring programs for employees provide valuable career guidance and job-shadowing opportunities.
