Nine 2nd year learners following the Advanced Diploma in Hotel Management programme, cohort 2022-2023, are on a six-month internship in Mauritius.
The group, who left the country on Saturday, are expected back on January 27, 2023.
The initial group comprised 13 students. Out of the group, nine have proceeded to Mauritius, while the remaining four have opted to pursue their internship locally.
When in Mauritius the group is to be divided into two. One group will be based at Constance Belle Mare Plage and the other at Constance Prince Maurice.
The Advanced Diploma in Hotel Management (ADHM) is offered by the Seychelles Tourism Academy (STA) in collaboration with Shannon College of Hotel Management in Ireland, a College of the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway. It is a three-year management training programme.
The second year of the ADHM training programme is a 12-month operative work placement. The overseas placement is an essential part of the programme as it plays a very important role in the students’ personal and professional development.
The placement is structured as follows: six months specialisation in Mauritius and six-month rotation in local internship.
The learners are expected to cover the following departments: kitchen, restaurant and bar, housekeeping and front office.
On arrival in Mauritius the learners were welcomed by representatives from both host hotels and the Constance Academy at the Constance Prince Maurice Hotel.
Following feedback received from the class representative over the weekend, interns at Constance Mauritius have settled well and are ready and looking forward to start their attachment.
The management and staff of the STA wish all the interns a fruitful attachment.
