Internships

One of the major goals of The Leading Hotel Schools of the World is to bring students and hotels together and offer a variety of internships to students to gain practical experience within the Leading Hotels of the World. Leading Hotel Schools have mandatory training periods, during which students work in the hotel industry. These training periods enable them to practice the theory they learned in school, but also give them the opportunity to develop themselves as ‘future hospitality managers’.
