Enrolment information

The purpose of work integrated learning is to apply knowledge and skills from the current degree to the work placement. As such advanced standing for prior work experience will not be considered for this unit. Please note that Hotel Internship A is a double-weighted advanced unit and should only be attempted towards the end of your course.

Unit description

Assists students to critically reflect on the relationship between their academic studies and the workplace environment by providing a minimum 300 hours of practical workplace experience over 10 weeks within the hospitality sector. This double-weighted unit enables students to gain an understanding of the requirements of the hotel business environment.

Unit content

Students have the opportunity to complete an internship by undertaking productive work at an operational / supervisory level with an appropriate hospitality organisation, in Australia or overseas.

Students are responsible for finding their own internship placement. On finding a position, students must submit a Notice of Placement form to seek approval from the Unit Assessor as to the position's eligibility for an internship, prior to commencing their placement.

Industry Internship A may be taken prior to taking Industry Internship B to form a 600-hour 20-week placement across the 2 units. Unit Assessor approval is required for both Internship units.
