- 8. Completing an internship brought me closer to multicultural diversity. I learned various things and got a taste of the Australian culture. This experience has given me a strong foundation to my career in hospitality. I have learned to promote sustainable tourism, achieve service excellence and learnt to appreciate my surroundings. With an internship you have the opportunity to gain hands on experience that isnt available in a classroom setup. Thank you Australian Internship for this experience. Prateek Dua, India, Front Office, 52 weeks This is the best internship program I have participated internationally with competitive training plan designed for our development during the internship. I am amazed with the system and services of Australian Internship. Gumangi Elvis Leoncion, Philippines, F&B, 52 weeks I loved my placement. My Host Organization is the leader in its field, includes an amazing range of opportunities and my colleagues are just amazing! Australians are probably the most open minded people I have ever met. Also, they are very respectful and tactful in the way they approach and treat others. This experience has moulded my career. I have learned so much about the international hospitality industry that couldnt have been possible in any other way. Karla German Nunez, Dominican Republic, F&B, 52 weeks My internship in Australia has been an extraordinary experience. The last few months in this country enabled me to gain a lot of self confidence as everyone was so encouraging and helpful. I now have the self-assurance to deal with any situation or problem which may arise. In addition, my English skills have improved tremendously and I now have clarity on which career path to follow. I have become a more multicultural person and have realised how important it is to have international work experience. I recommend an international internship for everyone as it is so widely accepted globally and have the chance to experience another culture. Anne Vogt, Germany, Front Office, 26 weeks
