Students belong to the Hospitality Studies, Accommodation Operations, Food Preparation and Production, Food and Beverage Service and in the Sports and Leisure career path tracks.

The majority of students have been placed in England, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man. However a number of students will travel to the United States, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Czech Republic and Tunisia. For the first time four students are being placed in properties belonging to the Corinthia Group in Prague and in Tunisia.

These students have joined forty three other students who have started their internship in March last year.
