My period as an intern from the High School Amsterdam Commercial Economics at Parasasa Hotel Curaçao was an extraordinary experience.

I feel it definitely enhanced my professional development as an HBO graduate. During my internship I had the unique opportunity to gain in-depth insights into the dynamic Hospitality sector, while gaining valuable practical skills. From the beginning I was welcomed into a stimulating work environment where I was given a lot of responsibility and autonomy. This allowed me to show my initiative and actively contribute to various projects and daily operations of the hotel. I learned to deal with a variety of challenges, from optimizing the guest experience to supporting the marketing and sales initiatives.

One of the highlights of my internship was the opportunity to participate in strategic projects aimed at strengthening Parasasa Hotel Curaçao’s brand position. Working with experienced professionals and diverse stakeholders allowed me to hone my analytical skills and problem-solving abilities.

In addition, this internship provided me with the opportunity to further develop my communication skills. Working in an intercultural environment taught me to communicate effectively with colleagues and guests from different backgrounds, which significantly strengthened my ability to operate in diverse cultural contexts.

Parasasa Hotel Curaçao offered not only a learning work environment, but also a platform for personal growth. The support and guidance I received from my colleagues and mentors were very valuable. They encouraged me to push my limits and explore new ideas, which increased my self-confidence and professional self-awareness.

In short, my internship at Parasasa Hotel Curaçao was an extremely valuable experience that I highly recommend to other college graduates. It is the ideal opportunity to develop yourself professionally, gain practical experience in the Hospitality sector and lay a solid foundation for a successful career. Parasasa Hotel Curaçao offers an inspiring learning environment where you can gain the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the world of Hospitality.
