Boca Raton Resort has a reputation for training, built by dynamic, highly motivated and
exceptionally well-trained employees. Students in our intern/extern programs are rewarded with rapid
personal and professional growth, plus association with world class management. The goal of our intern
and extern programs is to provide students from the finest hospitality schools in the world with
"hands on" experience in a luxury resort environment. At the Resort, we work with several colleges
and universities to facilitate internships/externships. One of the reasons the program continues to
be so successful is our customized approach to designing each student's program, in accordance to each
school's requirements and the needs of individual students. The program offers on the job training along
with educational experience. Each student partakes in a complete and comprehensive orientation program,
which includes meeting with their personal mentor to develop their customized training program. Within
the externship program, we work closely within the guidelines of each school.
All students must complete their entire program to fulfill the Resort's requirements of the intern/extern
program. The success of the program is ultimately up to the individual. We provide the environment, materials
and resources for success but it's up to you to make the most of the opportunity.
