CONTENT:

The main purpose of the crash course in "Job placement in the tourism sector" is to provide students with new knowledge essential to face in the best possible way the difficult entry in the labor market. First, students will be taught how to build an attractive curriculum vitae (mainly for international companies). This very specific teaching also includes the necessary notions on how to build a graduation thesis of interest for those companies. Next, students will be taught how to deal at their best with a job interview. At the same time, the basic information about some of the hard skills most appreciated by international companies will be provided. At the end of the course 20 students will be selected and will be admitted to the TIDE project. The main target of TIDE project is to allow students to choose internships that are as close as possible to their expectations. These 20 students will also benefit from personalized interviews to start discussing about their future thesis, so that their thesis can be consistent with the just mentioned internships which, in turn, represent the first step towards the desired employment.
