Internships in words!

Nothing beats Industrial Placements or “Internships”

in preparing students for real life work experience!

Industry placement or “internships” are an integral part of the curriculum in all Alpine Center’s programmes of study.  Students are required to complete two industry placements of 20 weeks each in order to graduate with a Swiss Diploma.
 
Although students have the opportunity to put theory into practice during the academic year at the hotel school, industry placements provide students with the opportunity to gain more “hands-on” experience with real guests in luxury hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, spas and events companies.
 
Industrial placements are an excellent way of building on the knowledge and skills gained during their first and second years of the curriculum. 
 
Industrial placements also enable the students to establish an industry network in leading hotel organizations or related establishments around the world.  Alpine’s dynamic Career & Placement Director counsels students at the beginning of the year and provides them with workshops to prepare them for interviews and the work experience. Students have the option to perform their industry placements all over the world. This allows them to experience foreign cultures and acquire knowledge of international hospitality management.
 
Attached is an impressive list of this year’s placements in a range of countries including  Greece, Vietnam,  USA, Hong Kong, Thailand, Mauritius, Maldives, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland, Jordan, Dubai.
 
During the placement, students complete a logbook and write two reports connected to their place of work and demonstrating problem solving skills by identifying a problem in their workplace and suggesting a solution.   These reports provide additional information for placement mentors and lecturers on trends and developments in the industry which can be shared in the classroom.
 
Many students use their industry placements as a strategic avenue to become employed by the company of their choice following their graduation!
