A successful manager needs to be able to understand the role of every employee within an organisation; a great way to gain this knowledge is through internship experience. Internship periods of four to six months are an integral part of the academic programme. Internships offer a unique opportunity to enhance both practical and language skills, which are highly valued in the hospitality industry.
Every campus has a career management team dedicated to providing one-on-one support to students. As creators of opportunities, each team encourages wise career decisions and tailors their service to each student’s uniqueness.
