This program is designed for students to put their knowledge gained in the IH
Vancouver Business English Program to the test in a Canadian business
environment. Although placements are paid, the options available to candidates are
quite different from those available to candidates in the Professional Internship
Program.
The majority of positions available are in customer service or retail sales. This
program may be taken as a Straight, Integrated or Sandwich structure. Integrated
options may only consist of 7+21, 9+27 or 11+33.

This program is designed for students planning a career in the hospitality/resort
industry. The goal is to improve both job and language-related skills as well as to
gain work experience. In each of the 3 programs, at least 50% of the program will
consist of course work with the remaining time spent working at a Canadian resort.
Work placements may be conducted at Whistler or one of the many resorts in the
Rocky Mountains. |
