The IT visitation officer and the IT office are available to discuss and help solve any problems experienced by
either the student or the employer throughout the time of the Placement.
A Placement Officer will visit you during your Internship, according to your location.
Duration
Industry training (IT) is mandatory for all students who have met the above qualifying criteria,
and who do not have equivalent prior hospitality experience required to achieve their award. The
industry training period must be the same as the length of full-time studies and therefore lasts a
minimum of four months but a maximum of six months including all statutory holidays. Industry
training must be completed in the time set out by the academic program enrolled in. Students are
not on the open labour market, but rather under supervision of the Industry Training Department
of BHMS.
IT cannot be done in advance of studies. All contracts, whether arranged by the school, the
student or a third party, are subject to Foreign Police and BHMS approval. The school will place
a student in a position the school feels is suitable, one time and one time only..
In all cases of a change in internship deemed to be caused by the student, an administrative
charge of CHF 500.00 will be applied.

Problems during industry training
If a student is unhappy or having problems with his/her employer, he/she should immediately
inform the Industry Training Officer at BHMS before making any decision. In any case, the
student MUST inform the IT Officer of any intent to terminate or cancel his work status prior to
acting, otherwise BHMS will deem that the student has chosen to discontinue his/her academic
program and will want to depart Switzerland.
Students agree to terminate their BHMS studies in the event of chronic illness or psychological
difficulties or when expecting to become a parent, both of which will hinder the completion of
studies and employment. The student further agrees to inform either the IT Officer, Resident
Manager or the Academic Dean of any psychological difficulties or of the expectation of a child.
Checkout
Checkout time for departure to industry training is in the first week of each term break. This
allows the school to prepare the vacated rooms for new and returning students. Students are
asked to obtain, complete and return a check out form to the Front Office and at least 2 days
prior to the planned checkout date
If a student wishes to continue to live in school, they will have to re-register at school as a tenant
costing CHF 60.00 for room and board per day/night. The accommodation fee has to be paid
each day in advance and this entitles them for only one night accommodation and the meals
available during that day in school. Checkout time is at noon.

Academic program and must be completed within the 12 month duration of each program year.
No additional IT time is allowed for extra terms required, to complete academic credits.
Health Insurance
During their IT, students will be covered by health insurance as well as workman compensation
coverage. There will be a CHF 100.00 deductible fee required to be paid by the student for all
Medical Cases over a period of 12 months (Golden Care). Recurring treatment will not require a
new deductible payment. This coverage is valid throughout Switzerland. Workmans Comp
Insurance is paid 100% by the employer.
Illegal working
Students found working illegally are contravening Swiss law and school rules. Students will be
fined by the local police and their residency permit will not be renewed when due. That means
they will never receive a second student visa for re-entry to Switzerland.

Dear Student
Soon you are about to start your Industry training. For some it is the beginning of their career
and for others improving of their skills.
The training is a learning process, which is no different than going every day to class. Like both
it is your own responsibility to give 100% in completing everything successfully.
This work represents 50% (time wise) of your program. It is therefore necessary that you gain as
much experience as possible and retain it for the future.
You will be required to carefully record what you did in industry training. You will then at the
end be required to make a brief presentation of your IT experience that should include the diary,
new insights, your employers Reference Letter (Zeugnis), a menu or a recipe folder if you are a
culinary student.
During your second training period you will be asked to continue with your diary, menu and /or
recipes folders. Furthermore, you will write a project related to your IT. This document will be
reviewed, assessed and graded by either Chef Wernli and/or the service instructor together with
Mr. Nissim Ben-Aharon.
1. Make sure school receives a copy of the working-approval from immigration within
the first month of IT. (Stellenantritt)
2. Inform school about absence from work. (Health certificate is required)
