Tourism marketing and sales students are available to work four days per week, for ten weeks at the end of their program (March-May). These students attend school remotely on Mondays, so internships can take place anywhere in the world.
Our students have completed most of their program, have job-ready skills, and are eager to sink their teeth into real work.
While they make a positive impact on your organization, at no cost to you, it’s a perfect way to try out a potential new entry-level employee with no risk. A win/win for both parties.

How does the internship process work?
Create and submit a one or two page Word document containing the following:
- Brief description of your organization
- Project description outlining the student’s responsibilities
- The organization’s name, address, and website
- Contact name, phone number, and email address
Remember, students will be applying based on the information that you provide. Companies that provide a detailed and interesting description of the position, the company, and the industry tend to attract more applicants and have a higher chance of landing an intern. Securing an intern is not guaranteed.
