The objective of industrial training is to provide to students the feel of the actual working environment and to gain practical knowledge and skills, which in turn will motivate, develop and build their confidence. Industrial training is also expected to provide the students the basis to identify their key operational area of interest. Heritage Institute Of Hotel & Tourism- IHM Agra arranges Industrial training at reputed hotels, so the student learns about the standards of the hospitality sector and uses them accordingly in his future.

A trainee is required to understand the overall operations of the hotel while specializing in one or two areas. Hotel management trainees may have to work closely with front desk managers, culinary department, general managers, convention and event planner, housekeeping department, and learn from them.

How to apply for a hotel management internship

Through college: The easiest way to get an internship position at a hotel is through your college. Most colleges send their students’ resumes to the hotels. After this, the students appear for an interview before a panel. The placement cell of Heritage Institute Of Hotel & Tourism helps each and every student with the interview process and arrange the internship at well-reputed organizations.

Contacting the hotel: The best way to apply for Hotel Management Internships is by contacting the training department or HR of the hotel directly and asking if they have a vacancy for the internship. If they have a vacancy, you’ll be asked to send your CV. If your CV is shortlisted, you’ll be called for an interview.

Duration:

  1. Summer Batch: Mostly starts from June/July onwards.
  2. Winter Batch: Mostly starts from September/October onwards.

How to prepare

Both hands-on experience and classroom learning are important while considering a candidate for the internship. Maintaining good grades and attendance during college is one way to enhance your chances of securing an internship at a good hotel.
