"We are delighted with the positive reputation of our employer brand. As an internationally-oriented, young company, it is particularly important for us to get young professionals interested in AIDA Cruises and to promote junior personnel. To this end, we have put customized Junior Development programs in place that accompany young professionals on their career path," explains Dörte Raasch, Director Development & Experience, Human Resources Management at AIDA Cruises.
