Dream US internships for Mia and Rose

Heading to the States this summer are two of our first year BTEC Level 3 Travel and Tourism students.

Mia Crockford and Rose Hall have been accepted onto 12-month internships by BSG Hospitality.

They first heard about the scheme through a virtual talk from the company arranged through the College

Now Mia is going to be working in Florida for a year, while Rose is heading to New York.

“I am so happy and grateful to have been offered this opportunity. I am so excited to go out and gain more experience in not only the travel and hospitality industry but also in life; I cannot wait to see where this experience takes me!” said Mia.

Said Rose: “I can’t express how excited I am to go to New York and experience this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am very eager and motivated to expand my hospitality and customer service skills as I have always dreamt of working for a country club. I cannot wait to start this adventure and see what other opportunities this opens up for me in the future!”

Lecturer Amy Benham said they applied a few months ago."We are so proud of them as it was a really challenging interview process and for them both to have been accepted is amazing,” she added.

BSG specialises in placing hospitality management student interns at prestigious private clubs, plus fine hotels and resorts along the east coast of the US.
