Studenti ta' l-Istitut ta' l-Istudji Turistici jibdew tahrig barra minn Malta / I.T.S. students leave Malta on their International Internship Programme

Il-kumpanija nazzjonali ta' l-ajru AirMalta offriet roħs fil-biljetti ta' l-ajru lil grupp ta' studenti tat-tieni sena mill-Istitut ta' l-Istudji Turistiċi li se jibdew it-taħri' prattiku tagħhom, magħruf bħala International Internship, fl-Ingilterra u fil-Lussemburgu.

L-ewwel grupp ta' sbatax-il student u studenta, flimkien ma' wieħed mill-għalliema ta' l-ITS, is-Sur Philip Pisani, telqu minn Malta lejn Gatwick, f'Londra, fit-28 ta' Ġunju 1999. Dawn ittieħdu fil-lukanda ‘Metropole', fi Brighton, fejn iltaqgħu ma' studenti oħra mill-ITS li bħalissa qegħdin fuq International Internship fil-Lukandi Stakis, fl-Ingilterra u wara li ngħataw programm qasir ta' taħri' telqu lejn il-lukandi rispettivi tagħhom.

Grupp ieħor ta' għoxrin student u studenta se jitilqu minn Malta fit-2 ta' Lulju. Dawn se jagħmlu t-taħri' prattiku tagħhom f'lukandi tal-Grupp Forte f'Londra, Manchester, Heathrow u Gatwick. Studenti oħra se jmorru l-Iskozja u l-Lussemburgu.

L-istudenti li qegħdin jipparteċipaw fil-programm ta' International Internships ikomplu l-istudji tagħhom f'livell ta' Diploma meta jer'għu lura lejn l-ITS. Studenti fil-Food Preparation and Production kif ukoll fl-Accommodation Operations iqattgħu sena sħiħa f'taħri' prattiku barra minn Malta, filwaqt li l-istudenti tal-Food and Beverage Service jagħmlu perjodu ta' seba' xhur. Grupp ta' studenti tal-Hospitality Studies se jagħmlu sitt xhur taħri' bħala Junior Management Trainees.

Dan il-'est mill-AirMalta se jwassal biex ikompli jitkattar il-kontribut fit-taħri' ta' ħaddiema professjonali li huwa tant bżonnjuż fl-Industrija tat-Turiżmu tal-pajjiż.

I.T.S. students leave Malta on their International Internship Programme

Air Malta have offered special reduced air fares to 53 second-year students from the Institute of Tourism Studies, who will start their International Internship in the United Kingdom and in Luxembourg during the first week of July 1999.

A first group of seventeen students accompanied by Mr. Philip Pisani, who is one of the Tutors at ITS, left Malta for London Gatwick on the 28^th June 1999. They were taken to the ‘Stakis Metropole' in Brighton, where they met other ITS students currently on their International Internships within Stakis Hotels. They were given a short induction and later travelled to hotels assigned to them in various parts of the United Kingdom.

Another group of 21 students will be leaving on the 2^nd July for their placements with Forte Group Hotels, while a number of other students will be leaving in the coming days for Luxembourg, Scotland and Manchester.

The students participating in the International Internship Programme will proceed with their Diploma level studies on their return to the Institute of Tourism Studies. Students in Food Preparation and Production and in Accommodation Operations undergo a training period of 12 months, while Food and Beverage Service students will spend seven months on their placement. A number of Hospitality Studies students will undergo a six-month Junior Management Traineeship.

Air Malta's gesture contributes in no small way towards a greater investment in the training of professionals within the Hospitality Industry.
