An optional subject for students, structured in the framework of the coaching support offered throughout the grade to facilitate the design of the student's career objective and their integration into the labour market. The Work Placement II subject must be passed to be eligible for an enrollment.
The practical training consists of 250 hours internship in a company within the hospitality industry either from a national or international scope. The content of this subject includes the internship period (250h), the completion of the memorandum report and the attendance to the workshop, other events and activities organized during the year (50h) with the aim to assess the student on his/her career objectives.
It pursues the student to get to know the organization, operations, and management basics within the tourism industry (either from a national and/or an internatinal scope). All areas of the business are considered: from guest services, management of departaments back of the house and/or the operations and/or promotion of a specific product. If needed, the the university will offer a wide range of partner companies that cooperate with us for the students to achieve their goals. To this extend, we highlight the Workshop-Trobada Empreses-Escola that takes place in February every year, amongst the activities and events that the student must attend in order to pass the subject.
As we do in the previous academic course (Work Placement II), with a view to promoting our students' development of their manageurial skills, we also encourage them to act as consultants and develop an intrapreneurship project in any of the organizations where they perform their internship. In case of interest to further develop as consultants in the field, we foster internal synergies with other subjects so that the student has the appropriate resources within the academic program to develop his/her project management skills (i.e: Bachelor's Degree Final Project, Business Start-Up and Innovation, Management of Operations, Quality and Environment, Hotel Management, etc.).
The course will be using three different teaching methodologies:
In addition, the student will have to adapt to the organization’s culture and its values, its internal regulations, policies, and procedures as well as to consider the tutor instructions and the university main guidelines.
Language:
Grau de Turisme: Spanish

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.
