College Relations Programs - Coop's and Internships
BMC has established an internship/co-op work experience (available on a limited basis and only at select locations),

New York, and Florida. These suburban, airport and resort hotels range
in size from 100 - 500 rooms known for their exacting standards and quality, BMC's franchise partnerships has helped the
company establish its own operating systems, controls and sales and marketing programs.
Today, with a strong history of profitability and outstanding service as its foundation, BMC has operated under the Marriott, Doubletree,
Hilton, Crowne Plaza and Radisson affiliations among others. Operating without an affiliation is an experience BMC has
as well as operating independent resorts. Management stability, commitment to quality and experienced hands-on approach will continue to advance
BMC's record of achieving performance that far exceeds the hotel industry's norms.

OVERVIEW
This program exposes participants to the hotel industry through a hands-on work experience. It is designed to supplement course work and to
further stimulate interest in a career in hotel and restaurant management. It is also designed to assess and identify potential management candidates
for future job placement with BMC. Our hotels recruit a large complement of interns who, by virtue of their "temporary"
status, help us meet our seasonal staffing needs. We welcome the energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism interns/co-ops bring.
THE WORK EXPERIENCE
Interns/co-ops are assigned to job classifications based on their background and experience, their personal interests, and the hotel's staffing requirements.
Hotel internship/co-op opportunities are available in Food & Beverage and/or the Rooms Division, with limited options for rotation in most other departments
including Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting & Finance, Engineering and Retail.
Culinary interns/co-ops rotate throughout all kitchen stations. The minimum duration of the Culinary Department internship-co-op program is twelve (12) weeks.
All interns/co-ops may be given a performance evaluation by the manager of the department to which they are assigned. Interns/co-ops have dotted-line
reporting responsibility to the Director of Human Resources.
THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Interns are given the opportunity to participate in our Management Orientation Program-an extensive management skills program and may at times,
attend various operations management, marketing, and staff meetings; participate in some in-house training programs and shadow managers and the hotel
