Each student pursuing the Tourism Management Program should consider an internship within the tourism industry. The internship experience is designed to provide the opportunity to practice, improve, and evaluate skills, techniques, principals, theories, and knowledge gained through academic experiences. Students have the opportunity to integrate previous course work, prior professional experience, and personal aspirations into direct application under the supervision of an approved professional.
Internships offer experience and training to college students.
The College of Business Career Center offers students assistance in this endeavor, as well as exclusive opportunities for management students. Some companies who have offered internship opportunities include Vail Associates, Hyatt Hotels, Colorado State Parks, Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau, Walt Disney World, Mountain Resorts Marketing Group, Colorado Ski Country USA, and Holiday Inn-Summit County.
