This university internship supports the resort’s kitchen operations, with duties likely including food preparation, basic cooking, mise en place, kitchen organization, hygiene and food-safety procedures, and assistance to chefs and culinary teams. Applicants should be enrolled in, or recently studying, hospitality, culinary arts, or a related program. The candidate is expected to be motivated, punctual, well presented, willing to learn, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Flexibility for shifts, weekends and public holidays is important. Good teamwork, communication, attention to detail and a genuine interest in luxury hospitality are expected. Previous kitchen experience may be helpful but is generally not essential for a structured university internship.
