PULS Talent Program
TN Hospitality Advisors and PULS established the PULS Hospitality Talent Program
Far too many young people in Denmark disregard the hospitality sector as a viable career option. Aiming to encourage greater interest among the management talents of the nation and ensure highly qualified labour for the future of the Danish hotel industry, TN Hospitality Advisors in partnership with PULS has instituted a new Danish talent program.
The talent program was launched at the PULS conference 2023.
PULS Talent Program
The PULS Talent Program offers financial support from the Edith Therkildsen Foundation.
Every year, a brilliant management talent within the Danish hotel sector will be given the opportunity to attend a professional development program at the prestigious Cornell University in New York State. The university is recognised as one of the world leaders in talent development within the hospitality industry. The financial support the winners receive will covers tuition fees at Cornell University as well as air transport and accommodation in the USA with a total amount of up to DKK 100,000.
Winners of the PULS Talent Program are selected by TN Hospitality Advisors in partnership with the PULS Ambassadors, consisting of six leading industry profiles, in addition to a representative from the Edith Therkildsen Foundation.
The 2025 winner was announced at the PULS conference in October 2024.
TN Hospitality Advisors expresses its gratitude to the Edith Therkildsen Foundation for their visionary support for the PULS Talent Program and the development of management talent within the Danish hospitality industry.

Appraisal for all nominees
All nominees deserve appraisal for their hard work and exceptional accomplishments, while further receiving guidance to continue building their promising careers within hospitality.
The PULS Hospitality Talent Program therefore seeks to further aid the three remaining nominees by facilitating a short-term internship developed in collaboration with the nominee in order to strengthen their profile and desired career path within hospitality.
