“My internship enhanced my professional as well as my personal development.
I found a mentor in each and everyone in the National Academy Foundation

“ I have done two internships, one at the Marriott Marquis Hotel and the other at
Africa Travel Association. Both internships helped me to become a more
mature, independent young woman. These experiences opened my eyes to the
world of hospitality and tourism. More importantly, they increased my
awareness of the professional world and for that I am forever grateful to NAF,
to my employers, and to my school.”

“The Academy of Hospitality and Tourism has taken me on a path that I never
saw myself on. It gives me opportunities that many high school students do not
have. I never saw myself having a paid internship in the 10th Grade nor being
on television because of my school. As a freshman, I appeared on television
and, last summer, I had an awesome paid internship with the Society for
Accessible Travel & Hospitality (SATH).

Employer TestimonialHi Janessa
I wanted to thank you for meeting me last week and taking the time out to get to know a bit about me and Linger Café & Lounge. I was pleased to meet such a promising young person and am very impressed and how polished and motivated you are. I also think it’s fantastic that you are going after a career that you are passionate about. I cannot express to you how invaluable that is even decades from now, let alone for someone in high school.
I am thrilled to offer you an internship position at Linger Café & Lounge. I think you are bright, energetic, and extroverted, factors that I think make you a great fit for the role and for what I’m looking for in my team. I also wanted to commend you on your interview skills – you’re a great listener, and get major points for being comfortable and interjecting often with questions and comments.
Kind Regards,
Jessica
