During July 2018, Dr. Constantinos Iacovou and Mr. Marios Charalambous have visited numerous hotels to oversee American College Hotel Management and Culinary Arts students internship in hotels and restaurants. They were particularly interested to see students’ progress and their working environment.
More than 100 AC students have found paid internship at some of the following hotels in Nicosia, Larnaca, Pafos, Limassol and Famagusta: Hilton Hotel, Leonardo Hotels, Cynthiana Beach Hotel, Elysium Hotel, Marismare hotels, Azia Hotel, Atlantica Hotels, Park Beach Hotel, Elias Beach Hotel, Golden Coast Beach Hotel, Tsokkos Hotels, Nissiana Hotel, Olympic Lagoon, Euronapa, Mill Hotel, Palm Beach Hotel, Pernera Beach Hotel, Mandali Hotel, Poseidonia Beach Hotel, Rodon Hotel, Troodos Hotel and Forest Park Hotel.
Paid internships provide American College students the opportunity to meet a particular workplace and gain hands-on experience. Some of our students following their internship are offered full-time employment when they graduate by their internship employers. The benefit of employing a past intern is that the intern is familiar with the company and needs no or less time for training. It is important that our Hotel Management students gain knowledge and practical skills through activities such internships, so they can be more competitive when they join the global hospitality industry. For this reason, during their studies, they have the opportunity to experience multiple workplace tours, workshops, and of course plenty of practical hours in our well-equipped training restaurant and cookery laboratory.
