Internship and Practical Experience in Hospitality Settings

Research shows that internships not only enhance employability but also increase students’ confidence and readiness for full-time positions in the industry (Wang, 2020). For hospitality students, practical experience bridges the gap between classroom learning and industry expectations, fostering professional growth and career success.

Internships and practical experience are essential for students pursuing careers in the hospitality industry, providing them with hands-on opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. These experiences help students develop critical skills such as problem-solving, communication, and adaptability, which are vital in the dynamic hospitality environment.
