The aim of the Local Industrial Trade Practice (LITP) and the International Internship Trade Practice (IITP) is that students apply what they have learnt in the lecture room to a work-based learning experience while at the same time having access to industry leaders that could potentially lead to job offers after graduating from ITS.
The Local Industrial Trade Practice (LITP) is a fourteen (14) week study that involves practical experience in the Maltese tourism and hospitality industry. All full-time students are required to undertake their LITP during the summer months within departments related to the student's area of study. The satisfactory completion of LITP is a requirement for courses that require LITP.
The International Internship Trade Practice (IITP) is a twelve (12) month study involving practical experience in the tourism and hospitality industry. ITS students in a diploma course of study must complete their IITP in a foreign country, including a European or non-European country. IITP is a mandatory module for students following the Diploma programmes.
Students enrolled in the Bachelor's Degree courses must complete a fourteen (14) week international internship. The satisfactory completion of the internship is a requirement for courses that require it.
The LITP and IITP is a negotiated partnership. Students may reap many benefits from such experience, including:
The exact dates will be communicated by the Internships Department during the academic year.
Conditions of employment and remuneration payable to students during the LITP and IITP will be compliant with the respective country's employment regulations.
Students may be placed in a workplace provided establishments abide by employment regulations.
International internship students are responsible for their travel and insurance arrangements.
Final approval of placement arrangements is at the discretion of the CEO and the Student Cases Board within the Institute of Tourism Studies.
