The Escola Superior de Turismo e Hotelaria de Seia, which is part of the Instituto Politécnico da Guarda (IPG), is holding a “Business Day” this Wednesday with the participation of dozens of companies in the tourism sector to bring students closer to the job market.
Around two dozen large companies participate in the initiative, which takes place from 2 to 5 pm, such as Grupo Pestana, Visabeira, Mélia, Grupo IMB, Eurosol, Flagdate Partnership, Juvigo, Aqua Village and New Life. According to IPG, some companies will participate online, through the “Zoom” platform, having 15 minutes to present their brand and provide information about internships and recruitment programs. The rest will be at the institution through exhibition stands, where personal contact will be privileged. During the afternoon there will also be “workshops” on how to build a CV, in Portuguese and other languages, and on how to prepare for a job interview. For the director of ESTH, Alexandre Martins, the “Business Day” allows «our students not only to learn about the recruitment processes of the largest hotel chains and other companies in the tourism sector operating in Portugal, but also to obtain internship opportunities or of first jobs in these business groups».
