On the morning of July 12th, Nanjing Central Hotel sent a bus to our college to meet 10 students which symbolized the perfect accomplishment of the beginning of all the 91 students’ real-job social practice.

In order to improve the effect of this social practice and enable the students to try their best to finish their professional training, on July 6th, Mr. Zhu Jianrong, the director of Department of Economic Management gave all the students an excellent lecture which was mainly about several relations during the practice. The relations include how to tranfer from a student to an employee, the difference between work and study, the difference between studnets’ vocation and major, which will help the students to be clear about what role they are going to play, what they are going to do and why they must receive real-job social practice.

From July 9th, all the 91 students began their 5-month social practice in different real-job bases to work under the guidance of the professional teachers. This time, the cooperative partners include more then ten units like Nanjing City Celebrity Hotel, Nanjing Central Hotel, Nanjing Fenghuangtai Hotel, Nanjing New Century Hotel. Najing New Era Hotel, Suzhou Yuanwailou Restaurant, Nanjing Dahua National Travel Agency and Nanjing Yuanye Travel Agency to name a few.

This is also the 5th large-scale and long-time real-job social practice for Tourism Management Major studnets of Department of Economoc Management. The previous experience has proved that vocational college students really need this kind of real-job training to fill the gap between school and society and this training experience can make up their weaknesses in theory store compared with undergraduates from universities, which will help our students to be more competitive in employment, and thus, lay a solid foundation for their future career.
