The first internship is designed so that all students can get hands-on customer service experience in Food & Beverage or Front Office operations. Students will be exposed to real-life work environments in rotational positions throughout different outlets of the property they are placed with.
This internship is about structure and about learning how to do things the right way. It is hard but rewarding work which will lay a solid professional foundation and pave the way for students’ second internship and future careers.

What’s it like to be an intern at Atlantica Beach Resort in Kos, Greece?

Yasmin’s expectations imagined a different internship story than the one that is currently playing out. That didn’t stop her, as she adjusted on the spot, and is now flourishing in her role as a receptionist intern at Atlantica Beach Resort.

It’s tough but it’s extremely rewarding. Yasmin is proud of herself for what she has managed to do so far. Her attitude is pure hospitality because she finds joy and energy in helping guests out.

AHA students “are willing to work, are focused, they know what they want to become”. Regardless of their path, they are the hospitality leaders of tomorrow.
