A gateway between the world's finest hospitality schools and Vietnam's rising tourism coast.

Edutrain develops a network of companies and organizations across Vietnam to provide internships for international students in hospitality, tourism, culinary arts and hotel management. We work with each student to craft an individualized placement that meets their professional, academic and personal aspirations. Interns are assigned a local "buddy" who provides support and helps integrate them into Vietnamese life. We strongly encourage immersion through city exploration, excursions and community service — because an internship here is also a residency.
