Students at ICHM study in Adelaide’s CBD, which gives them access to a lot of part-time work that fits the hospitality profile of the college.

Why The Location Helps

Being in central Adelaide makes it easier to find shifts in hospitality, tourism and retail. That matters for ICHM students because those sectors often align directly with the course content and can build useful experience while studying.

What To Keep In Mind

International students should check visa work conditions before taking a job. They should also balance work shifts with the demands of a hospitality course, especially when placement or industry work is part of the program.

Job Search Tips

• Start with CBD hospitality venues
• Look for hotel, cafe and event roles
• Ask about work integrated learning connections
• Keep a hospitality-focused resume ready
