Internships

The Hotel School offers students an opportunity to integrate theory with the practice and responsibility of the professional workplace through our internship program.

Internships are integrated into the Associate Degree of International Hotel & Tourism Management, Bachelor of Business in Hotel Management and Master of Business in Global Hotel Leadership. They are a unique part of our degrees, designed to assist in working out which career pathway is best suited to you and to add valuable experience to your career. Internships may be undertaken within Australia or internationally. Students may gain experience in any sector of tourism and hospitality.

Benefits of internships:

• Work in a high-level hospitality and tourism business

  The Hotel School has connections to leading hotels, resorts, restaurants and other hospitality and tourism organisations that will help you take your classroom skills into the workplace.

• Further develop skills learned in class or from past experience

  The skills you develop in the classroom, as well as from other hospitality experience, will be invaluable as you’ll be able to hit the ground running in a professional hotel workplace.

• Improve your personal skills

  Time management, punctuality, personal presentation and organisation and communication skills are all vital to working in tourism and hospitality.

• Experience and learn from different operational styles

  Your experience will grow from every different work situation as you understand different management styles and systems.

• Grow your network of industry contacts

  Everyone you meet could be an invaluable contact as you progress through your career in the global tourism and hospitality industry.

• Gain invaluable experience for your resume

  Work experience is key to getting the job. Just like transferring your skills from the classroom to internships, your employers will expect you to know how to work and conduct yourself in a professional environment.
