HTM Articulation?
The NRAEF is looking for examples of articulation agreements in place for the HTM curriculum and/or Hospitality & Tourism Specialist (HTS) credential. Do you have any articulation agreements in place? If so, please let us know!
Hospitality Industry Internships
The Hospitality Industry Internship (HII) provides the opportunity for Florida HTM & ProStart instructors to work in a 
foodservice/lodging establishment for at least 40 hours. Once the required paperwork has been processed, the participant will receive a personal check for $600.
To qualify for an HII, the instructor must teach the HTM or HTMP curriculum during the 2022-2023 school year. If you are already employed at a restaurant or hotel, you MAY NOT use that site for your internship. The restaurant/hotel must be a new work experience for you, not somewhere you have worked before or used as an HII internship location.
The applicant must secure a position at a foodservice or lodging facility where a minimum of 40 hours of hands-on experience is guaranteed. The host location may pay the recipient but is not required to do so.
The FRLAEF will award 11 HII’s this school year on a first-come, first-served basis. So apply NOW! Work experience may begin once the applicant receives an award notification from the FRLAEF.
