The Summer Hospitality Internship Program is a short-term learning and employment opportunity for Williamson County Schools and Columbia State Community College students interested in the field of Hospitality and Tourism. The summer internship will provide students an opportunity to explore the diversity of career opportunities in the industry while learning more about areas directly related to his or her career interest.
The major purpose of the internship learning experience is for the intern to receive broad instruction in workplace expectations, confirm, narrow, or expand choices of career interest; develop an understanding of the connection between school-based theory and content and work-based applications; and increase awareness of the workplace, career opportunities, and community resources. Participants are expected to provide their own transportation to both the training and work sites.
The Columbia State Hospitality Program is a program devoted to growing the next generation of leaders in sales, business, marketing, finance and management within one of Tennessee’s largest industries.
