Amazing Über Internship - Students Running A 3 Star Hotel

Launched ten years ago in the Don Milani high school in the town of Rovereto, “Mission in Polsa” is the only project of its kind in Europe, allowing kids to manage a hotel for two weeks in a completely independent way.

Professor Maurio Enea came up with the great idea of giving students real business environment. 

He said: 

"We wanted to provide the students with an opportunity to do for real the things that they study, with real responsibilities," "Too often during their internships, our students are offered only minor duties. Our goal is to give them the opportunity to choose, to make decisions, maybe to make mistakes -- but always using their own brains."

During the project students managed a 150-bed chalet in the Italian Dolomite mountains for two weeks with no grownup supervision and very demanding customers were already there, students from other schools and special guests, such as local businessmen or the ambassador of Burundi, who was paying an official visit to the region.
