Teachers! Request internships, free hospitality business visits (field trips), mentoring, and job shadowing experiences. (GoGo)

The hospitality industry is one of the premiere emerging industries in the U.S. With any rapidly growing industry, the job market in that field is getting more competitive by the minute. Students should consider careers in the field of hospitality and know that university schools of hospitality offer generous scholarships and internships to qualified students. Business visits and job-shadowing days are the best way to observe the day-to-day realities of a career. At the same time students get a feel of their personal like’s and dislike’s in a work environment. A great way to get this essential exposure is an internship or career mentorship. Students learn from top-notch professionals while fulfilling high school requirements. Teachers are encouraged to submit a request form to get connected with hospitality and tourism companies for activities such as business visits, job shadowing, internships and career mentorships. Brief Tip Sheets suggest how to prepare and follow-up for the each activity. At the bottom of the Tip Sheets are links to related worksheets for the activities.
