Universal Orlando Internship Program

Last year Universal Orlando launched a Food & Beverage Operations internship program.  This program is designed to give students exposure to high level executives, frontline leaders and team members, and be able to impact and own projects that would otherwise take them years of field experience to achieve. Past interns have done everything from launching and implementing a campus wide mocktail program to helping improve and development new hire training programs.

Universal has expanded the internship program beyond Operations to also include Project Management and Culinary.   Interns will have the opportunity to be inaugural program participants for Universal Food & Beverage Culinary. The program focuses on three key areas: culinary creativity, menu development, and restaurant operations.

Interested applicants must be college students, freshman are acceptable.  For information on specific internship opportunities, click on the link below.  In the blue box is the opportunity to search for Universal Orlando internships.  Please share this information with any past students that may be interested.

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.
