Paid Internships
Industry training is an integral part of the study program at BHMS. The school provides one sound training assignment per year in a business that has been carefully selected and chosen as a training venue. It provides an opportunity to gain paid work experience in a Swiss hospitality venue that is known throughout the world for its value during the early stages of a career.
The first assignment will be in a junior support role, where a student can practice the skills that they learned during their first six months at school. Culinarians complete their industry training in that department, whereas hospitality students will complete their training in either service, housekeeping or other supportive departments. Successful students may be able to assume more responsibility and guest contact in their second year.
Throughout the paid industry training period, students will have support available from BHMS. BHMS is dedicated to helping students gain the best learning opportunity possible during their industry training time. The school employs a full-time Industry Training Coordinator solely for this purpose.
Industry training salaries in Switzerland are negotiated between the employer and the Federal Employee Union and are presently set at minimum CHF 2'115 per month gross. From this salary, students may have to pay for their room and board and taxes. The average net income per month is between CHF 1'200/1'400.
Graduate Placement
BHMS takes great pride in its employability rates of its graduates; our measure of success.
Once a student has a proven track record working in a Swiss hospitality position, they are ready for the first career step. Should the individual possess the assertiveness and have that 'sparkle in the eye' for hospitality, BHMS is here to help. We prepare students for the industry by working together with reputable agencies that know the local market better than we do. Agency fees cover job prospecting and help prepare extensive documentation for employment as well as assistance with visa applications.
BHMS prepares students so they can deal with these agencies. This will require students to prepare for telephone interviews, help prepare a video resume and ensure that students are successful at securing an international internship that will lead to a meaningful career.
