Introduction
During this unit, you will be given the opportunity to identify a critical issue and create a case for an internship project in a Tourism or Cultural Heritage Environment context. Once this is done you will undertake an internship at a tourism or cultural heritage business. This 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.
