Palpable Score

75.3

/ 100

Marriott International has unusually visible early-career pathways for hospitality, including a paid hotel internship route, a paid post-graduate leadership program, and a headquarters fellowship with executive exposure. The score is held back by limited public, cohort-level outcomes reporting, so progression and retention signals come from program descriptions and broader workforce initiatives rather than published early-career metrics.
