Paid Training (for on-campus students only)

ISBM is the only Hotel and Business English speaking school in Switzerland that allows students to finance their education by his/her self, at ISBM you can earn up to 14'000 CHF per year.

What is an Internship?

An Internship (our students call it: in-training or IT) is Paid Training and plays a very important role in the education system at ISBM, our students must do 4 in-trainings for the BBA and 2 in-trainings for the MBA. The reason why the students at ISBM must do the training is that the Hotel industry employers are looking for people not only with a strong academic background but also with strong employment skills that’s why we believe that the training is important for our student's future. If the student doesn't have any previous work experience it means he/she needs to take up an entry-level position in a small Hotel.

At ISBM we recommend that students who are wishing to do internships in Switzerland improve their German, French, or Italian language skills. During the Education at ISBM, we are focusing on preparing our students for positions in the hospitality industry and our students must learn the German language during their Education at ISBM too.

Note: if you have good language skills you have then better chances for a better position during your internships.

At ISBM we believe after the BBA / MBA the student will have a strong CV with 2-4 internships during their Education in Switzerland that's why students must do an internship session after each academic semester.

WHO WILL FIND ME THE TRAINING?

Before our students start the training we prepare them in improving their interview techniques and application strategy, that’s why we believe that our students are able to find training by themselves.

And till now 100% placement for internships

But you are never alone especially after you have graduated, if the student couldn’t find paid training Mr. Balmer will assist students in finding suitable positions matching their requirements, experience, and language skills.

Typical Internship Positions

The Internships are almost in Hotels or Restaurants in the German, French, or Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland, mostly in Lucerne, Zurich, Geneva, or Ticino, depending on the Student's employment experience and language skills, the Students are able to do their training in Kitchen, Service, Housekeeping or in Front Office (if the Student speaks good German, French or Italian) and if the Student is interesting to do the in-training in UK, USA or Dubai or other Countries we have some opportunities.
