Staff Accommodation Placement
All Work and Study Canadatm Programs are designed for candidates to live in staff accommodation. Staff Accommodation is usually shared with one or two other staff members in the same room. Often there are several rooms that all share the same bathroom and kitchen facilities. Staff Accommodation is usually owned and operated by the resort and the employee is effectively also a tenant and must sign a contract to that effect and pay 2 weeks damage deposit. Staff are usually required to clean their own units.
There are always rules applied to staff accommodation. Staff Accommodation is not fancy and expectations should be low as this is the standard throughout Canada however candidates only pay $50 - $100 and this is deducted from the pay check every pay day which is generally every 2 weeks.
JOB LOCATIONS
The majority of the jobs that are found for in Canada's Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains lie on the border of British Columbia and Alberta and are about a 12 hour drive from Vancouver.
TYPES OF HOTELS & RESORTS
There are several different types of resorts in the Rocky Mountains.
There are small 50 - 100 bedroom hotels in the heart of the main resort towns. There are larger hotels with up to 400 rooms located just outside the resort towns. There are resorts with 1000 employees that are located at the ski field or golf course that are 20 - 50 kilometres from the nearest town.
Each has positives and negatives however the key difference is that usually the further the distance from a town the more facilities of the resort the employee can use.
Positions within the resort differ very much as well. A small hotel may have 3 receptionists and no restaurant whereas a large independent resort may have 25 guest service agents and 7 restaurants.
After the interview process, the best fit (or best available) is chosen for the client.
