Sian is on her way to New Zealand with two of her friends to start her Hospitality Internship in probably the best tourism town in the Southern Hemisphere, Queenstown. Sian is completing a course requirement for her International Hospitality Management degree at Dublin Institute of Technology.

Last year we placed two students from DIT into New Zealand, you can hear from Sinead and her hospitality internship feedback on our blog.

Sian will be working with her friend Hannah, also from DIT in a fantastic hotel in the heart of Queenstown. The starting position will be in food and beverage and depending on how they both work from there, there could be opportunities to move into front desk positions.

Sian, Hannah and Aine will be arriving in New Zealand this coming weekend. The summer in New Zealand is in full swing and they will have good weather up until June. In June we will be placing between 50 and 60 students from around the world into New Zealand. A lot will go to Queenstown in time for the winter season to start. Queenstown is known internationally as a very good ski destination.
