Hotel Internships abroad with Erasmus+

We are always thrilled to welcome Erasmus+ groups of interns at Tenerife South Airport, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter in their careers. These young students are arriving for their hotel internship abroad on Tenerife, an opportunity made possible by the Erasmus+ program. For us, organizing internships for such groups is a rewarding and fulfilling project. It gives us the chance to encourage the next generation of young professionals as they undertake this new experience abroad.

The arrival of our interns is a special moment, and from the very beginning, our mission is to ensure that each of them feels welcomed. This is why we personally go to Tenerife airport to pick up the group of Erasmus interns. We want to ensure their arrival is as smooth and stress-free as possible, making it easier for them to settle into their new environment. By providing this service, we ensure that they feel welcomed and supported right from the start of their journey.

Throughout their hotel internship abroad, we remain available to assist with any issues or questions that may arise. Whether it’s helping them navigate the work setting, offering advice on cultural integration, or simply being there to listen, our team is dedicated to making their internship as smooth and enriching as possible.

In addition to our direct assistance, the interns’ teachers often visit to check on their progress and ensure that their students are benefiting from the internship program. These visits also provide an opportunity for us to collaborate with the teachers to address any concerns and celebrate the interns’ achievements. This close relationship between our team, the interns, and their teachers is vital to the success of the program and helps ensure that the students get the most out of their internship experience.

The hotels where our interns are working are renowned for their excellent service quality and guest satisfaction. These establishments are carefully chosen to provide an ideal workplace for the interns to learn and grow. During their hotel internship, the interns can gain firsthand experience in various departments such as reception, entertainment, public relations, marketing, food & beverage, and more. This comprehensive exposure is designed to equip them with knowledge they need for any future workplace.

By working closely with experienced professionals, the interns have the opportunity to observe best practices, learn new skills, and understand the day-to-day operations of a hotel. They also get to work alongside other interns, which fosters a sense of team spirit and mutual support. This collaborative work environment allows them to share their experiences, challenges, and successes, creating a strong foundation that can be significant, especially in a foreign country.

The experiences gained through this hotel internship abroad will benefit the interns not only professionally but also personally. They will leave with a deeper understanding of the hospitality industry, improved language skills, and a greater appreciation for different cultures. These are invaluable resources that will serve them well in their future careers and personal lives.

While often the primary focus of the hotel internship abroad is professional development, we believe that cultural exchange and personal growth are equally significant because it enhances adaptability, communication, and global awareness.

Tenerife, with its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history, offers the perfect backdrop for these young professionals to expand their horizons. We encourage our interns to explore the island, engage with the local community, and take advantage of the many opportunities for cultural immersion.

To help them settle in and bond with each other, we are planning group excursions. For example, we organize trips to one of Tenerife’s best attractions – the popular Jungle Park. The park is well-known for its immersive jungle surroundings, featuring lush greenery, winding paths, and a diverse array of wildlife.

The Jungle Park features a range of attractions, including spectacular animal shows and interactive exhibits. The bird show, for instance, is a highlight where visitors can witness the incredible beauty and talents of various bird species.

The park’s suspension bridges and bobsleigh ride add an element of adventure, allowing interns to experience the island’s natural beauty from unique perspectives. The visit also includes a delightful sea lion show, bringing joy and laughter while emphasizing the importance of leisure activities in maintaining a balanced and enjoyable hotel internship abroad experience. This visit is not just about fun; it also gives interns the opportunity to connect with each other outside of the work setting, improving collaboration, teamwork, relieving stress, and creating positive shared experience.

These excursions, while fun and entertaining, also serve a deeper purpose. It provides a valuable cultural experience, allowing the interns to learn more about the natural environment of Tenerife and the importance of wildlife conservation.

The Erasmus+ program is about more than just gaining professional skills; it’s about personal growth, cultural exchange, stepping out of your comfort zone, and broadening your horizons. By participating in activities like our trip to Jungle Park, the interns are not only learning about their chosen field but also about the world around them. This sense of community and shared experience is a key aspect of the Erasmus+ program, encouraging the interns to support one another and build friendships that will likely last a lifetime.

As the interns settle into their new roles at the hotels, we are confident that they will make the most out of this incredible opportunity.

The skills they acquire during their hotel internship abroad will undoubtedly benefit them in their future careers, but the experiences they have outside of work will be equally important. Tenerife has so much to offer, from its breathtaking scenery to its lively cultural scene, and we encourage the interns to explore it all.

In the coming weeks, the interns will continue to participate in various activities to provide them with a well-rounded experience. Whether it’s visiting local landmarks, engaging with the local community, or simply enjoying the island’s natural beauty, there will be no shortage of opportunities for growth and discovery.

We are always excited to see how the interns progress during their time and look forward to encouraging them every step of the way. As we continue to work with interns and witness their growth, we are reminded of the importance of programs like Erasmus+. They not only make a hotel internship abroad possible and provide valuable professional experience, but they also promote the values of diversity, inclusivity, and global citizenship.

In conclusion, the arrival of our Erasmus+ groups for a hotel internship abroad marks the beginning of an exciting and transformative journey. From their warm welcome at the airport to gain work experience in the hotel business to exploring the island, the interns are already making the most of their limited time here. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for them and are committed to ensuring that their internship experience is as enriching and rewarding as possible.
