OBJECTIVE
The objective of the internship program is to create an opportunity that will provide participants an opportunity to dive into the food & beverage/operations areas of private clubs. Students will obtain a better understanding of club operations working under the supervision of the management team. Being that Tuxedo is a large operation offering a vast number of amenities, the areas of training include food & beverage/operations in golf, pool & fine dining including tournaments and private events ranging from 10 to 200. This enables students to gain a better understanding of which area is of most interest to them, as well as helping to facilitate their understanding of the complexity of club food & beverage operations.
