Intership Program

An internship typically takes one semester in the trainee’s final year and trainees still attend regular classes.

Hours of work:
Normally, the trainee works the same hours per week as they would at the KOTO restaurant (40 hours) and attends classes for 8 hours over a 6 day week. Internship hours are determined by the employer’s needs and the trainee’s class schedules.

Benefits for Trainee:

• Gain valuable industry experience
• Make industry contacts
• Opportunity to put theory learnt at KOTO into practise
• Develop an understanding of what employers look for in staff members
• May earn money to put towards independent living and savings for after graduation

Benefits for Employer:

• Opportunity to find motivated trainees to fill immediate needs, as well as create a database of talent for possible future employment
• Interns can be seamlessly converted into full-time employees, resulting in a significant cost of hire saving
• Opportunity to assess intern’s skills over a period of time, without having to give them full-time employment
