Train in Hospitality – US Internships Available

I liked getting to learn to different cultural backgrounds. While my time at the Host Company I got to share with different people my knowledges and they did the same. My manager encouraged me to develop my creativity and my decision making. They were always on the lookout for my learning.

My supervisor is an excellent mentor to us. We really learned a lot from him from speaking English and how to work great in the Kitchen, and also the H.R. Department is very active to all the J-1 she always organized J-1 meeting every month for us to have a chance to meet other J-1 in Miami.

My supervisors were very patient and great teachers. I learned a large amount of practical skills here that will certainly benefit me in my future career. My internship was also very hands on. Aside from the practical skills I learned, I was privileged to attend Court proceedings, trials, depositions, and expert witness interviews. Seeing the day-to-day life of an attorney was eye-opening and solidified my decision to pursue a career in the legal field.

This Host Company is the top 3 of the hotel it was a great experience and I'm thankful to my sponsor to give a chance to work at this Host Company and work with professional chefs and always help guide and give knowledge and new menu all 3 seasons, thanks for the heart.

My first favorite experience has been working alongside my supervisor who has trained and motivated me to do more within the Hospitality Industry and how to run the front desk department and also the housekeeping department. Working alongside my supervisor have been my most exciting experience, I learned so much from him and I am now more confident when applying for jobs in UK. I would really like to do my graduating placement at the Host Company as a front desk manager as I've been front desk supervisor for both my 1st and 2nd rotation and also partially my 3rd as I was moved to work in another building as innkeeper. I am so happy with my decision of doing this placement as it opened my eyes and opened me to wonderful opportunities and job experience that I never thought I'd accomplish at this age of 22. I look forward to being a front desk manger someday as well as director of operations and hopefully work my way up to becoming a General Manager. My favorite experience has also been seeing the owners on site. They have been great help and support to us interns and I am really grateful for our university to have such contacts, bonds and internship programs with owner. They see the future for hospitality and has so far encouraged and push us young people in the tourism industry to have great opportunities and job experience.

Everyone is very nice and caring here. They have great patience to me and are willing to answer my questions and helping to figure out my issues at work. My boss is a generous person, and my colleagues take me out for dinners and parties. They are my friends here.

This organization is doing incredible work and it's an honor to be part of a team of like-minded individuals trying to make the world a better place. The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to help. The team always made sure I was learning and improving my skills -- which is something done for all staff members.

I liked the people that I was working with, they made my experience amazing. I made a lot of friends from all over the world that I will be in touch for a long time. Training for work, classes, presentation of my country, graduation ceremony, and all the fun activities I was in charge of or I participate.

They will train you on each kitchen station. Every chef is very helpful to teach you kitchen skills. You will be working in close contact with each different Kitchen department head so you get valuables knowledge about different principals and skills of kitchen management. Overall every chef in this host company are very talented and helpful to provide you with great kitchen training and kitchen experience.

Host company has given me training according to Internship plan. Colleagues are very friendly and helped me in every stage of my internship. Senior management was very cooperative and helped me in every single aspect of this internship. The knowledge that I acquired during this period taught me how to face challenges and keep up the pace with life. This is the best experience of life and this Host Company has taught me to stand strong on my career path.

Very thankful for the opportunity of being able to train at this Host Company. Everyone including all of the management team has always been very professional, polite and very helpful when needed. I think when learning and being an intern isn't always easy since you go from one department to another one and have to recognize what you think is being done well or bad. Lots of fun and I hope to be back on Holidays some day!

I liked all the staff they are friendly and easy to get along with. Especially our Executive Chef he makes sure that all his staffs our doing great and if ever there was a problem, he resolved it right away. Aside from that my training here was so unforgettable I've learned a lot not only for special skills but also how to deal with different kind of attitudes of my workmates.

I would 100% recommend it as it is one of the best hotels in the area. People will be trained by experts and in an environment where you are always working and dealing with different situations. Being such a busy hotel, prospect trainees will find the opportunity of being trained in different scenarios and cases. Everybody at the hotel is always willing to help and teach, it is a great place to grow and learn.

I believe that everyone in my country especially in the hospitality field have always been dreaming to experience the wonders of United states; with the help of Spirit Cultural Exchange, I am very lucky and privileged enough to be given an opportunity to set foot on the Land of The Brave for the second time. I had my first internship right after my graduation way back in 2015. I was training in an exclusive golf club in the south suburb of Chicago. February of 2018 when I flew to Atlanta Georgia, I am quite excited and looking forward to see what kind of fortune awaits in my new host company, Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. I can still remember the first time I saw this beautiful jem, it reminds me of some Disney movies where in the Princess waves her hand on top of this huge castle surrounded with beautifully arranged grasses and flowers. There are 7 different restaurant outlets in the property where in rotations of interns takes place (1) Versailles Restaurant features a gourmet American Cuisine buffet as well as a set menu with a modern twist that includes some regional favorites and chargrilled steaks; (2) Marc Restaurant prepares a regularly-changing lunch and dinner menu focusing on southern classics and regional highlights featuring small plates, large butcher cuts and house-made desserts; (3) Fleur-de-Lis prepares gourmet breakfasts and lunch dishes served using the choicest of healthy ingredients; (4) Paddy's Irish Pub is a spirited pub serving up traditional Irish food, beverage, and live music; (5) The Sarazen’s Bar & Grille is an All-American menu featuring grilled meats, sandwiches and salads, also offers a large variety of spirits with a focus on hand-crafted cocktails; (6) L’Auberge serves a range of light snacks and dinner item, a full bar with a wide selection of beers, cocktails, spirits, and wines and it has a relaxed sports-bar atmosphere with large screen televisions, and pool tables; (7) Le Soleil Pool Bar features a light selection of refreshing sandwiches, salads, and snacks to accompany their favorite poolside cocktail. I was assigned at Marc Restaurant and started as Server Assistant. My role is to assists the server by helping them out with their opening and closing sideworks, setting and clearing tables, refilling water glasses in the tables, running food to the guests, and the like. Being a server assistant for 2 months taught me to have patience, to take initiative and especially to always put the best effort in everything because eventually everyone will see it and all of your hard work will be paid off. My manager talked to me after a busy Saturday night shift and told me that he and the Winery Director are planning on giving me a shot of as a winery server. I told myself then that this is the chance you've been waiting for, don't let these people believe in you down. The official training as a server started and It was hard at first, I feel pressured because there are so many things to learn. At Marc I have to be my own bartender, my own Barista, my own sommelier and a food server. But with the help of my trainers, Robert, Nelli and Mai, I was able to pass it and officially became one of them. It was fulfilling because I know how tough it is to become a server in a fine dining restaurant like Marc. I realized how fulfilling it is when guest truly appreciate your service, yes tip is something that all servers look up to but the words of appreciation became my fuel to work hard and be more passionate in this industry. Truly, working at Chateau Elan is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to do what you love at the premier resort destination in the Southeast. Now that I'm on my last quarter of my internship at Chateau Elan I can speak on behalf of the other interns that this didn't go as easy as the people in our country may think of, the fact that we are thousands miles away from our loved ones brought stress, depression and anxiety to each and everyone of us. Living the what they called “American Dream” with my co-intern is one of the best and most unforgettable memory of my internship journey. When I came here 8 months ago I have no idea what would happen, but who would have thought that within that period of time I’ll be able to create friendships to those who are once strangers to me. Aside from my family, my co-interns are also part of my support system. Some might think that this internship is all about fun, shopping, party, etc.. but it’s actually more than that. We have our struggles and down times and that’s when these people come to play, to cheer you up and make you feel better about yourself again. Also, I couldn't miss the part of being surrounded with my American friends who let me experience so many stuffs that I haven't done before. Rachel is the closest to me, she is from Georgia and I love her for being so genuine and pure and for letting me in to her home where I met her wonderful family. This internship program helped me learn the American culture and at the same time I myself was able to share t very own culture to the Americans. Through this program i can gain international experience which will be a big help on my future career goals. This whole internship training taught me to become independent, to value hard worked money, to stand for what you think is right and that there's nothing wrong with saying "NO", to believe that you get in life what you have the courage to ask for and be Limitless! I still have 4 more months to go and I’ll make sure that everyday counts!

Hello Everyone. I'am almost completing my Culinary Program in Milwaukee as far it was a great and unforgettable experience in my life, where I met with lot of people who are now like a family to me. This programme gave me an opportunity to work with experienced chefs, under whom i improved my culinary skills to a further extent by improving both technically and practically. Coming to the Spirit team they were always been helpful to me as i was new to the country and i was all alone with no friends here, in a complete new environment being alone i always had a support from the spirit team. I always approached spirit in case i needed any help or support. I'am very touched by the help and support they always showed towards me. Thanks to all the SPIRIT TEAM.

I made very good friends while I was there, I knew the American culture, the way of life. I learned to deal with my own problems, to interact with people different than me (culturally speaking). My co-workers were very supportive with me and they were kind at all times. It was an unforgettable experience.
