Description

The hospitality industry has a great motto for hiring, “Hire for attitude, train for skill”. 

The Cutty Sark is looking to offer current students a unique and fun opportunity to gain real world experience in the hospitality industry. We are located in the classic town of York Beach, Maine where thousands of travelers come to spend their summers year after year. Our charming motel has been family-owned and run for over 70 years. We sit directly on Long Sands Beach with 42 rooms and about 15-20 employees. Come spend your summer with us!

The intent of this program is to provide students valuable experience in the field. Interns will work directly with the management team including the General Manager, Front Desk Manager and Director of Operations.  Under the general supervision of the General Manager, the Intern will focus on areas of operations, marketing, administration, guest services, sales, problem resolution, planning and implementation of innovation, and client relationship skills. In general, we want you to experience the full picture of what it’s like to operate a small hotel on the beach in Maine. 

The intern will acquire working knowledge of hospitality with special attention to dealing with guests. The intern will rotate among different defined positions at the hotel for a period of time long enough to gain a familiarity and comfort level to be proficient in those roles.  The various roles and responsibilities of the position are:

Front Office, Food & Beverage, Marketing & Operations, Housekeeping, Management, and a special project.
