This important component of the Hospitality & Tourism Operations Management post graduate program will provide the student with the final hands-on practical exposure to the tourism & hospitality industry and the opportunity to specialize in their chosen career focus. It consists of an eight-week field experience in an approved sector of the student's choice and is based on a 32-hour training week (total of 256 hours). Students will have an opportunity to observe and learn from experienced personnel in a real-life work setting, while integrating a competency-based field experience schedule as a framework for learning. Students have the support of our Placement Advisor and can apply to a variety of tourism and hospitality industry partners. They also can self-identify an employer for an approved field experience. This field experience will take place in the third semester of the program.
