Job Description

Student Hospitality Manager (SHMP) Get Paid. Get Experience. Get Ahead.

Job Type: Student Intern (Hourly)

Schedule: Flexible around your classes

Duration: Academic Year (Fall + Spring)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Ready to turn your college experience into a career advantage?

The Student Hospitality Management Program (SHMP) is a hands-on, leadership-focused internship designed to give you real experience in hospitality operations—while you’re still in school.

You won’t just shadow—you’ll participate, contribute, and grow.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

This is a rotational, immersive experience across multiple areas of hospitality:

• Support daily operations (opening, closing, and service execution)
• Work directly with managers and a dedicated mentor
• Assist with training and team development
• Gain exposure to dining, retail, catering, and events
• Contribute to special projects like campus events, guest experience initiatives, and marketing efforts
• Learn how to lead in real-world situations

Every day is different—and every day builds your future.

Job Responsibilities

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

This program is built to develop your skills—not just fill your schedule:

• Leadership experience (real leadership, not just observation)
• Customer service and communication skills
• Problem-solving in a fast-paced environment
• Insight into hospitality operations from the inside out
• A mentor guiding your growth every step of the way

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need years of experience—just the right mindset.

We’re looking for students who are:

• Motivated and eager to learn
• Positive, adaptable, and team-oriented
• Interested in hospitality, business, or leadership
• Excited to take on new challenges

Bonus: You enjoy working with people and making things happen

PROGRAM DETAILS

• Flexible schedule designed for students
• Evening and weekend availability may be required
• Commitment: Full academic year (with potential summer opportunities)
• Participation in structured training and development sessions

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

• Paid, hands-on experience while in college
• Mentorship from experienced hospitality leaders
• Exposure to multiple departments and career paths
• Opportunity to build your resume with real impact
• Networking and professional development opportunities

Qualifications

• Must read, write, and understand verbal instructions
• Must complete a sanitation course either before or during first year
• Ability to perform basic arithmetic
• Maintain emotional control under stress
• Must be knowledgeable in operating an efficient cost-effective program.
