Workplacement I has to be passed to be eligible to enroll.
The practical training consists of 250 hours training in a company within the tourist sector. The content of this subject includes the internship period (250h), the memorandum report, the completion of the workshops and activities related to this subject, and the attendance to various events and in-class sessions organized during the year (50h) designed with the aim to assess the student on his/her career objectives.
At the end of the internship period, the student will need to deliver the tutor performance assessment. The survey will be required too.
The practical training pursues the student to know the organization, operation and management of companies within the tourist sector, covering the guest services, management of back office departments, and/or the organization and promotion of tourist products or services, etc. If needed, the EUTDH will offer a range of partner companies to achieve these learning goals. To this extend, we highlight the Workshop-Trobada Empreses-Escola that takes place in February each year amongst the activities and events the student must complete and attend in order to pass the subject.
The course will be taught using three different teaching methodologies:
a)Learning by doing – practical training at a professional environment, duly monitored and tutored by an expert on the professional field.
b)Self‐assessment and self‐analysis tasks.
c)Autonomous work after being in contact with industry professionals to better understand the business operations and the professional profiles that better match each role and type of company.
Additionally, the student will have to be adapted to the culture of the organization, its internal regulation and values while considering the tutor instructions and the EUTDH main rules
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
