For a period of at least 15 weeks the education takes place at different hospitality related businesses such as hotels, bed & break fasts, ski lodges and toursim offices.

      It is only the last year students who can go abroad on their work experience and they go in the end of their last semester. The period lasts for 6 weeks and they students who wants to go abroad need to complete a special course as a preparation. The flight tickets etc are partly paid by the school and the students. The students have been to many different countries like Canada, the US, Malta and Kenya.
      Wish a great week!

    I would like to include workplace-based expereince for my Business students. Currently we consult with industry to determine industry's needs, but students gain no actual experince of real working situations.

    Yes, it gives them what we call in Australia'employability skills' - that is generic skills they can use immediately on gaining employment.
