Career Change: Reinvent Your Career with Club Med Jobs

Why Consider Professional Retraining at Club Med?

Many working professionals today want to breathe new life into their careers, whether for personal reasons, burnout, or simply a need for new challenges. Changing roles can be an opportunity to reinvent yourself and regain a work-life balance. Indeed, many people embark on a professional retraining project with the desire to practice a job that combines passion and personal fulfillment. At Club Med, we prioritize the well-being of our teams by offering a dynamic, motivating, and enriching environment. From hospitality to food service to entertainment, our roles are diverse and exciting: ski instructor, kitchen assistant, or choreographer—there’s no shortage of career opportunities at Club Med.

How Do You Know Which Field to Retrain In?

Seeking meaning, craving challenges, layoffs… The reasons for changing your professional path are numerous, and the questions come thick and fast: how do you retrain if you don’t know what you want to do? Which retraining is suitable at 40? What job is right for me? Above all, it’s essential to evaluate your skills, your interests, and the sectors that are hiring. You can do this by consulting professionals in the field that interests you and conducting an informational interview. This will allow you to get concrete information on salaries, required skills, and possible career paths. A skills assessment or a personality test with an occupational psychologist can also help you make an informed choice. That’s why, at Club Med, the professional and personal development of our employees lies at the core of our corporate culture, ensuring they thrive.

Sectors That Are Hiring and High-Demand Jobs

When considering a retraining, it’s important to pick an industry that’s actively recruiting, so you avoid prolonged unemployment. Hospitality, tourism, and service jobs at Club Med are in high demand. Whether you have a degree or not (but with relevant experience), we offer attractive job opportunities, whether for a summer job or a complete career change. Tourism and hospitality sectors especially value interpersonal skills, such as customer service, team management, adaptability, and stress management. These soft skills are highly valued in the recruitment process, as they foster team cohesion and contribute to a harmonious work environment.

How to Finance a Professional Retraining?

Employees who want to retrain can benefit from various specific funding options, depending on their destination country. Some programs or organizations can partially finance professional training, whether online or in person. These grants offer a genuine opportunity to gain training for starting a new career or to enjoy internal mobility. Changing jobs within your current company is certainly possible—this is the case at Club Med. We support our teams in their professional development, with perks such as housing and meals included. It’s a great way to save money!

How to Leave a Permanent Contract (CDI) for a Professional Retraining?

Transitioning from a permanent contract (CDI) to retraining can be tricky, but with the right steps, it can be done smoothly. It’s recommended that you carefully plan your projects, research available training opportunities, and develop a solid financial plan to cover transition periods. If you want an international experience, why not join a multicultural company that offers global mobility? At Club Med, we have nearly 30,000 G.O.s (Gentils Organisateurs) and G.E.s (Gentils Employés) of 110 different nationalities and cultures.

Transferable Skills for a Successful Retraining at Club Med

Have you never worked in hospitality or food service, but find these sectors appealing? Don’t worry—professional experience often provides a set of transferable skills suited to a new field. For example, at Club Med, qualities like stress management, communication, and team spirit are particularly valued. If you’ve spent years working in sales, your ability to connect with people, your attentive listening, and your sense of service will be a real asset in our Resorts. Similarly, if you were a fitness coach, your infectious energy and know-how would be most welcome. In any case, your interpersonal abilities, paired with your transferable skills, will make it easier to adapt to a new job.
