Internships in hospitality

Internships are a key part of the Swiss educational model of hands-on training. Through real-life experience in a fast-paced business environment, you will gain cultural perspective, self-awareness and a professional attitude to prepare you for your future career in hospitality.

 

    • Discover your Potential - During the preparatory year of your program, you will complete a first internship to discover the hospitality industry and learn more about your own strengths and professional interests.
    • Exercise your Skills - The second internship, in your third year of study, will allow you to put into use your supervisory techniques and project management skills in a department or location that will further develop your competencies.
    • Build your CV - The standard internship is 5-6 months in length (4 month minimum for ski resorts). These internship opportunities will allow you to gain experience and fill your CV before completing your degree.

 

As an LRG-UAS student, you will benefit from the professional internship and career development departments located on your campus in Bulle or Bluche.

 

Internship Opportunities

Our internship placements are promoted through a structured system for getting students started and supporting them throughout the internship process. From day one, you will be exposed to a variety of internship resources:

    • Internship Fair: presented by returning students during the first week
    • Published internship offers: average 3 offers per student
    • Company Visits: 20-30 per campus with presentations and interviews
