Omni is committed to employing a diverse workforce that includes the talents of soon-to-be and recent graduates. As an employer of choice, Omni attracts college graduates from across the country.

"I get to work with people from everywhere in the world. While all of them are different in many ways, they all share the same "it" factor that Omni looks for in potential Associates. I sincerely enjoy being a part of the Omni culture because everyone has this drive to succeed as well as a vested interest in one another."
Neil Raburn, Guest Services Manager, Omni Houston Westside Hotel
Texas Tech University, 2008, B.A., Psychology

Diverse and dynamic learning opportunities are available to all of our Associates; however, Omni's unique commitment to recent graduates is evident through its Leader/Manager in Development program.

"It is not easy to assimilate into the real world after college, especially when you add the worries of finding the perfect job, but working at Omni has made that process a lot easier. I have built a strong passion for the hospitality industry and an even stronger loyalty to Omni. The Leader in Development program was the perfect opportunity for me to build leadership and confidence in the Human Resources field before moving into my first management position."
Ashley Bartlett, Employment & Benefits Manager, Omni San Francisco Hotel
California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, 2009, B.S., Business Administration
