Practicum placement

As the placements are only 40 hours long, think about something “bite-sized” that a student could take on. If your business falls under the categories of:

• accommodation,
• food and beverage,
• attractions,
• aviation and/or,
• travel or tourism related agencies,

Please consider hosting a practicum student to ensure there are qualified staff in our tourism industry for the future.
