Hospitality Internships Advisory Committees

HospitalityInternships.com is proud to have two advisory committees. One consists of a group of experienced and influential hospitality business leaders (coming in June 2024), and the other comprised of hospitality educators. Both advisory committees are stakeholders who help us ensure that we are connecting today's hospitality talent with available internships and leadership opportunities that exist in the hospitality industry around the globe. We are honored to have these knowledgeable/experienced partners.
