Bring on students from the Toronto School of Management' Hospitality and Tourism program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience.
Students in this program are poised to succeed in the integrated work areas of range of functions within the facilities department of hotels, operational and supervisory aspects of running food and beverage operations, aspects of food hygiene and safety, accounting, and financial information.
Students are required to complete 480 hours of placement within 24 weeks.
These students are looking for both paid and unpaid internships with a preference for paid experiences. Please indicate in your project submission which you are able to offer.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
Students
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the internship. However, these deliverables must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of the internship.
Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Project examples that students can complete may include ones in these areas:
- Front Office Operations
- Food and Beverage Operations
- Food Safety, Smart Serve & First Aid
- Hospitality Accounting
- Hospitality Risk Management
- Customer Service Experience
