(Last edited: Thursday, 20 January 2022, 9:37 AM)
Answer:

To ensure a meaningful In-company Training, Wittenborg outlines strict criteria for organisations to 

qualify as placement companies. These criteria are as stated below: 

• The internship provides sufficient in-house operations experience. 

• The work is of a sufficient level. there should be opportunity to do work that matches the level of the study (HBO). 

• Creativity and intelligence levels of the student should be tested; it is intended that the student’s knowledge, understanding and skills gained during study are applied in practice as part of a completed task, with ample opportunity for direct action, ownership and responsibility. 

• Performing simple facilitating, administrative work (e.g. dish washing and photocopying) for more than 28 hours in total of the training period is not permitted. 

• The contents of the training need to meet the objectives of the programme and the contract is strongly linked to education or certain parts of the programme. 

• The host organisation supervises the student and a supervisor is appointed for this purpose. He/she introduces the student to the organisation and continues throughout the training period as a training partner for the intern. 

• Understanding and skills that students have acquired, can be applied and expanded. 

 

In addition, the placement organisation should fulfil the following criteria: 

 

• Organisations must be clearly related to the hospitality, tourism, events or sports industry and offer a conducive, safe and secure work environment. 

• Offer the opportunity to work at supervisory level at some stage in the training. 

• Provide adequate supervision throughout the placement. 

• Provide reasonable allowance(s). 

• Allocate working days, hours and shifts in accordance with the legal labour framework. 

• For hotels: a 3, 4 or 5-star rating and at least 20 (in the Netherlands) or 60 (outside the Netherlands) rooms. 

Students should read through all necessary information found in the EEG part 7a  for HBA specialization.

Question:

Work Placement/Internships: How can I apply for internships?

Answer:

An important step in Wittenborg studies is the internship/work placement and achieving work experience related to your studies at Wittenborg. You can find information pertaining to Work Placement/Internship on the Work Placement (WP) Module online area. You need to first enrol in this module using the enrolment key. It is important that you thoroughly familiarise yourself with the pre-requisites, procedures and instructions before starting the WP/Internship. The Work Placement Handbook (EEG Part 7), which can be found on the online area, contain all the necessary information.

Basically, these are the steps that you need to follow:
1) Enrol in the WP Module using the enrolment key
2) Read the WP Handbook and ensure that you have met all the pre-requisites. You cannot start your WP if you have not fulfilled all the required pre-requisites
3) Register on the search platforms and search for suitable internship opportunities: Wittenborgconnect: www.wittenborgconnect.com.
Students can also use other external platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed.nl, or other employment agencies (take note that these agencies may charge a service fee)
4) Once you've found a suitable internship opportunity, send your application and CV directly to the employer. If you are accepted, the employer should provide you with a signed acceptance letter/contract
5) Send your WP request to external relations via the online WP Request Form. You need to submit this form and upload all the required documents
6) Once your WP request is approved (the processing period can take between 3-5 days) and the Nuffic Agreement is signed, you can officially start your WP

If you still have questions even after reading the WP Handbook, contact the WP team at externalrelations@wittenborg.eu. When sending queries, always provide your full name and student number. If necessary, you can set an appointment to meet with any of the staffs.
Important: Always try to find the answers to your questions by first using the official information provided online - this is also a key element of acquiring professionalism.
