Diploma: Adventure Tourism Management

Internship Placements

The Internship period is a pivotal part of your educational experience with QRC.

Adventure Tourism Management cannot be learnt by sitting in a class room alone.  It is essential that students get hands on experience to provide them with an insight into the practical nature of the industry.

In addition to further developing their practical skills the internship period also provides students with the opportunity to start their own professional network. A positive internship experience can lead to future job prospects after graduation.

QRC works closely with industry leaders and in many cases QRC students are the employees of choice

Most students undertake their internship within NZ however there is also the opportunity to secure positions internationally.

All internships are fully paid.
