HRTM Internships

Transform your HRTM education into hands‑on experience that positions you for success in a dynamic, people‑centered industry!

Wish you could travel and gain valuable work experience at the same time?
Nels Holmquist did that in Italy.

Interested in the inner workings of a major hospitality event?
Taylor Carlberg did just that at Augusta National for the Masters Tournament.

Want to get your feet in the door to an international corporation?
Virginia Lane did that and now is the Director of Food & Beverage at Spectrum Catering, Concessions, and Special Events.

Internships are the way to make those dreams come true. You will develop specific learning objectives and goals and work with a UNL faculty member who evaluates your internship and guides you during the experience. Where else can you go to complete three internships totaling 700 hours over the course of your college career?
