Internship Programs: Hands-On Experience Tailored for Success

At The Hotel School, internships are at the heart of our curriculum, providing mandatory paid placements that give you a competitive edge. These opportunities are integrated into diploma, advanced diploma, and bachelor's programs in hospitality management, culinary arts, and tourism. As an Indian student, you'll benefit from structured support to navigate Australia's work visa requirements, such as the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485), which allows up to 2-4 years of post-study work.

• Duration and Structure: Internships range from 6 months to 1 year, often in top-tier establishments like Crown Melbourne, Hilton Hotels, or international chains such as Marriott and Accor. You'll gain experience in front-of-house operations, kitchen management, event planning, and customer service.
• Industry Partners: We collaborate with over 500 employers across Australia, including luxury resorts in Sydney, Gold Coast hotels, and Melbourne's vibrant event scene. Many placements offer AUD 20-30 per hour, helping you offset living costs while building your resume.
• Support for Indian Students: Dedicated career advisors assist with resume building, interview preparation, and cultural adaptation workshops. We also facilitate placements in multicultural environments, ideal for leveraging your bilingual skills in Hindi/English to serve India's growing outbound tourism market.

Recent data shows that 95% of our students secure internships within three months of enrollment, with many converting to full-time roles. For the upcoming intake, early application is key to accessing high-demand placements in Australia's recovering tourism sector, projected to create 250,000 jobs by 2025.
