The Importance of Completing an Internship
For hospitality management students, internships can be a means of earning that experience — and building a competitive edge — while applying classroom knowledge in the real-world setting. An added benefit is that interns learn how to function in the business world and what’s expected of them as hospitality professionals.
Internships also offer employers an effective way to train and work with prospective employees at a comparatively low cost, with relatively little risk. Hospitality employers who work with us say they find our well-trained, enthusiastic students to be assets to their mission of providing quality quest services.
In addition to supplying critical on-the-job training, an internship is a fantastic opportunity to put theory gained in the classroom into practice, a process students find exciting and challenging. It’s also a student’s best opportunity to explore the world of hospitality management, to clarify academic and career goals, and to earn firsthand about the operation of a hospitality organization — a hotel, a restaurant, a country club, a meeting planning facility or other hospitality organizations.
Securing an internship is the responsibility of the student, however, faculty will assist students in preparing for this experience.
Internships are available in a variety of hospitality properties in the United States as well as overseas.
