As a student, it is essential to develop an outgoing and impressive personality that will enhance the quality of learning and educating oneself. There are lessons on ‘personality development’ almost everywhere and that proves how important it is to inculcate this trait in our lives.

IST has been the best choice and best decision that I have ever made in my life. Our school not only provides us education but also some helpful excellent skills that we need in our journey. Bringing different ideas for our development, proper planning for best performances and providing us the best education besides all this IST has always taught to be strong and confident. Speaking in mass was like climbing Mt. Everest for every student but encouraging us to develop our confidence and removing our discomfort, IST has a big hand on it.
With the great learning environment and best rules and regulations, IST is also well known for the grooming (physical appearance). Grooming brings the best in us, makes you look confident and smart. IST also grooms us with discipline and teaches us to be a patient listener which will help us to gain more. Teachers in our school are always supportive and are ready to solve our problems and make us believe in ourselves. IST has inspired me for believing in myself and showing out my inner skill, talent and making me realize about my spark that I had within me, also made me dream bigger for the great success.

Teacher having a great enthusiastic attitude over students without any discrimination, all the students are treated in the same way, even in this crowd of students teachers really take a good care of each students. This was the best college that I ever had to choose for my career. Two years in IST was the best experience and I got to learn many new things. Over all I can see myself turning into a beautiful butterfly from a caterpillar, from a shy person to a very confident lady with all the positive attitudes and I would like to give all the credit to IST college for developing my personality throughout the year.

Importance of Internship
An internship is an opportunity offered by an employer to potential employees, called interns, to work at a firm for a fixed period of time. Interns are usually undergraduates or students. Most internships last between a month and three months. Internships are usually part-time if offered during a university semester and full-time if offered during the vacation periods.
Internships are important because they provide insight into real-world employment settings which can help to define career goals. They also enable students and young professionals to develop soft-skills which are essential for employability. For example; good communication skills, professional work ethics, initiative, and cultural intelligence.
Internship makes students more competitive in the job market. In addition to gaining exposure and experience in the different department of the hotel, they also provide an opportunity to see if the particular department in a hotel is the right one based on getting personal experience.
Our college, IST provides internship programs to their students for 3 to 6 months. The internship then helps the students to develop their skills, talents and so on. It also prepares them for what to expect in their field and increases confidence in their work. Students can learn a lot about their strengths and weaknesses during an internship. Therefore it can develop and refine skills.
The most important element of internships is that they integrate classroom knowledge and theory with practical application and skills developed in professional or community settings. They also bring a wealth of benefits to students, both while completing a degree and when seeking a career path after graduation.Internships can provide students with the soft skills needed in the workplace and in leadership positions too.
The internship that one undergoes after completing two years of intermediate studies here at IST School is a foundation for a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management. Students are sent to the leading 4 stars and upper scale 3 star hotels where they have to train in the core operational departments of the hotel.
