Features of the Overseas Hotel Internship Program

The Overseas Hotel Internship Program of the Japan Hotel School is a system that supports graduates who wish to work in a hotel overseas with the goal of career advancement. By gaining experience in a first-class hotel overseas, students will have more job options both at home and abroad after completing their training. Japan Hotel School and its affiliated hotels fully support students, and they are dispatched on a regular and continuous basis.

This is a system in which Japan Hotel School cooperates with each hotel to fully support graduates so that they can gain experience in first-class hotels overseas after graduating from the school and acquire the skills to make their dreams come true. Gaining experience overseas also broadens their employment options.

Training destinations include famous hotels in Malaysia, the Philippines, Switzerland, etc. We also have a track record of introducing and dispatching graduates via the school to other areas such as the Netherlands, Germany, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, the Maldives, and Guam.

In recent years, there has been an increase in job requests for Japanese staff from internationally renowned hotels in Southeast Asian countries, the Pacific region, and the Maldives. In addition, because the type of personnel required by foreign hotels operating in Japan is similar, the conditions for employment after returning home are also favorable. There is also a thorough support system for job hunting after completing training. The trainee system, which improves business execution capabilities and language skills, is the first step to making your dreams come true.
