Student Reviews: Internship Experiences in Portugal and Ireland

Students´ Reviews:

Two students from a hospitality college in France recently completed their internships abroad, gaining hands-on experience in international hospitality environments.

Here’s what they shared with us (translated from French):

Maria Clara

“Hello,
Overall, the experience went really well. We adapted easily to the culture, and even though the language was sometimes a challenge, we always found ways to communicate. What stood out the most was the kindness of the people and the positive atmosphere at work.”

Nathan

“Hello,
The experience was excellent, instructive, and enjoyable. We didn’t face major difficulties and adapted quickly to the environment. It was a great opportunity to learn and grow professionally.”

During their placements, they developed practical skills, adapted to new working conditions, improved their language abilities, and experienced different cultures. From service tasks to kitchen operations, they were fully immersed in real professional environments, building confidence and independence along the way.

These experiences highlight how working abroad helps students grow not only professionally, but also personally 🧡
