Internship in Prague: a step toward a career in tourism
Internship in Prague is an exchange program in hospitality and tourism for young professionals during their summer break. You’ll study at the Czech Hotel Business Association and complete practical placements in top 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels across the Czech Republic, improve your English, and get to know the local culture. Upon successful completion of the program, participants receive a certificate: “Foundations of Tourism Business. Management in Tourism”. All training is conducted in English. You don’t need prior tourism experience or to be studying a related major — what matters is the desire to gain professional experience in the hotel industry. The program is unpaid, but you’ll get room and board as part of the program, airport pickup, a lecture course, a guided tour of Prague, and cultural activities throughout the program. It’s a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Prague’s educational and cultural life.
