HOTEL & CATERING PROGRAMME.

The Hotel & Catering Programme is a paid internship experience geared towards participants between 18 and 30 years of age. Its goal is to provide participants with relevant work experience in the tourism sector and to help them improve their Spanish language skills.

Participating businesses are 3, 4, and 5-star hotels along the coast in the provinces of Almería, Cádiz, Granada, Huelva and Málaga. Interns will stay at the hotels with room and board provided. Specific positions will depend upon the participants' previous experience and language level but can include areas such as reception, maintenance, kitchen, bar/restaurant and management.

Participants will enjoy the challenge and enrichment offered by the opportunity of working in an international environment particularly relevant to the hospitality sector. The experience of working in a foreign country and in a foreign language will help students develop their resourcefulness and expand their horizons.

Language Course: There is an optional language component for students who wish to study Spanish before the start of the internship. For participants interested, this consists of classes for three hours a day over a period of five days.

The language course is specifically tailored to the participants' internship plans. Participants selecting the language course option would have the benefits of facilitated cultural adjustment and real-life practice before starting in the workplace. This option also includes a shared apartment in Seville for the duration of the course.

Follow up: We establish a very close contact with the tutor and the participant during the stay in the hotel.

The programme includes:

· A stay of between 2 months and 6 months with the hotel.
· Placement in 3, 4, and 5-star hotels in positions dependent upon the participant's previous work
experience and language level.
· Accommodation and full board.
· Monthly remuneration.
· A certificate provided by the hotel at the end of the program.
