The global hospitality industry relies on interns
Tertiary students studying hospitality worldwide who require six months of practical experience to fulfil their degree requirements and kickstart their careers.
Last year over 40 million Internships were conducted globally. The World’s leading hospitality organisations utilise internships and benefit greatly from the eagerness, dedication and motivation these keen young people bring to their brands.
New Zealand, while not traditionally recognised as a primary destination for international interns, is now emerging as a top choice. Working In has identified this need and is at the forefront of transforming New Zealand into a premier destination for internship placements.
Collaborating with esteemed hospitality universities worldwide, we have developed a meticulous selection process. Our commitment to excellence ensures that only the most motivated and exceptional students become part of our intern community.
