INTERNSHIPS
ACS has its own placement office to assist students in
locating employers who will welcome them as interns. The
opportunities are numerous, however, successful placement
will depend on the motivational level, professionalism and
communication skills of the students. Internships will be in
hotels and restaurants and last up to 4 months. They will be
an integral part of the program. Internships serve as
excellent opportunities to gain valuable references as well
as serve as a foundation for a career in the hospitality
industry. Please note that Swiss law permits students to
work only during the official internship period.
