Training & Recognition
At Ocean Reef Club we continually invest in our Associates and their growth. We help set personal goals and plans on how to achieve them – from learning new skills to taking on more responsibilities. Our desire is to not only assist in the personal and professional growth of our Associates, but to offer a variety of training programs that we believe they’ll find helpful. As well, we offer our Associates a dedicated training room that provide a myriad of in-person courses year-round, not to mention opportunities for certifications and tuition reimbursement. All because we believe everyone who works at Ocean Reef Club represents our greatest asset, and that employee satisfaction starts with creating a supportive and inclusive environment.
Culture-Promises-Mission
Ocean Reef Club offers a working environment that is grounded in personal growth and well-being. We value respect and trust. We count on and believe in one another. We aspire to be the best we can be, while also raising one another up. Our promise is to support you, give you meaningful challenges, and make your time with Ocean Reef Club worthwhile, wherever your career path takes you.
Recognition Program
Truth be told, employee recognition knows no calendar at Ocean Reef Club. It’s not only an important part of our company culture, but one of the most valuable commodities we possess.
When Associates know their efforts contribute to the ongoing growth and success of the Ocean Reef community, they instinctively feel a deeper connection to those they serve, a high level of satisfaction, and confirmation that the career path they’ve chosen is the right one.
A few of our yearly programs include:
• Quarterly Awards of Excellence
• Long Service Awards
• Spirit of Ocean Reef Award
• Holiday High Fives
• Chipping In Program

Training Programs
Not only does ongoing training and development help Ocean Reef Club retain amazing Associates, but more importantly it allows them to personally improve their job skills and growth opportunities. Below are examples of Ocean Reef Club’s training programs.
• UNIVERSITY OF OCEAN REEF CLUB >
Each year, from June through November, your Training & Development Team partners with Leaders from around the Club to offer hundreds of complimentary courses targeting what you need to grow. Each class is designed to be informative and interactive so you’ll walk away with knowledge and insight you can immediately apply at home and on the job.
• ONLINE CERTIFICATIONS and REIMBURSEMENTS >
• Ocean Reef Club, in partnership with Florida Atlantic University, offers certificates in Hospitality & Tourism Management at no charge for all Associates. This self-paced 30-hour online course is broken into 8 modules that you can complete virtually at your own speed over an 8-week period. Each module is developed for hospitality professionals like yourself and taught by FAU Professors who are experts in their respective fields.
• Full-time year-round Associates have the extra benefit of receiving annual tuition reimbursement towards a degree of their choice.
• Full-time year-round Associates can attend conferences and seminars specific to their job at ORC with hotel, food and transport covered.
• TRAINING and APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM >
• Ocean Reef Club’s workforce is large – 1200 Associates and 70 departments large – so we understand the importance of cross-training. As an ORC Associate, you will have the ability to not only learn about the department you work in, but neighboring departments as well that you likely interact with daily.
• Our Manager in Training Program is designed to give a handful of hospitality professionals the opportunity to learn about Club Management at Ocean Reef Club. The program is designed to give you the skills you need to grow from line level to management by interacting with and learning from key leaders across the Reef.
• In partnership with the College of the Florida Keys, we are proud to offer apprenticeship programs in the fields of HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry and Electrical to our full-time year-round Engineering Associates.
