Internships at Salaya Pavilion Hotel
Within the period of up to 12 months after graduation from FGCC, students are offered internship opportunities at the Salaya Pavilion Hotel and Training Center, Mahidol University International College (MUIC). The internship, for a minimum period of 4 months, is related to the Travel Industry Management training offered to non-MUIC students throughout Thailand.
The number of students accepted each time varies with qualifications of the candidates and depends on training capacity at Salaya Pavilion Hotel and Training Center. The selected trainees will be rotated through four departments: Front Office, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, and Kitchen. They will be provided with free room and board, and a monthly cash allowance of 1,000 baht per person.
The student trainees will also have the chance to take the Institutional TOEFL examination. Those who excel in the examination will be invited to study at Mahidol University International College. There is also the possibility of scholarship grants to cover tuition fees.
Each student applicant is required to submit a resume and undergo an interview conducted in English. The most recent round of selection occurred in December 2004 in Nong Khai where FGCC applicants were interviewed by Dr. Tongchai Savasdisara, General Manager of Salaya Pavilion Hotel and Training Center. Two male and two female students were selected for internships.
