Speaking about the initiative, Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh regional vice president and general manager Guenter Gebhard said: "Teaming with Misk Skills to staff interns and managers-in-training is an important opportunity that we are glad to be part of. Ask any of our department heads, and they will tell you how rewarding it is to pass along skills they have acquired as part of the Four Seasons family. 

"Whether our new interns and managers-in-training end up on our team or taking the skills they learn here to build hotel careers elsewhere, it is very gratifying for us to be a part of the growth of tourism and luxury hospitality here in Riyadh and throughout Saudi Arabia.”
