Tourism Internship B unit (HGA718)

Introduction

In this unit you will undertake an internship project in a given workplace, produce a report of your findings, and then critically reflect on the personal skills that you possess and challenges that you would like to improve upon during the unit. Your workplace mentor will also assess your knowledge, aptitude, and communication skills as part of this process. Your internship may be self-organised, or organised by coordinators, depending on your employment situation. You will undertake a standalone project, with defined objectives and outcomes- to be determined in consultation with managers from the business and the unit coordinator. You will be assigned an Industry Mentor from within the organisation who will support you and provide an assessment on your performance. Students wishing to undertake this unit are required to express their interest with the unit coordinator six weeks prior to the beginning of their chosen semester of study. Placement cannot be guaranteed as this will depend on the number of available internships and the suitability of the student. A select number of internships will be pre-arranged by the unit coordinator throughout the year. These internships will be matched with students who express interest in undertaking the unit and are deemed suitable by the unit coordinator. Students are also encouraged to find their own internships. If they do, six weeks notice is required prior to the commencement of the semester to give the unit coordinator adequate time to ensure the viability of the proposed internship.
