"During my internship I helped at the marketing departement. Everyone in the company appreciates what you do. My tip for interns: If you have questions, ask them. You are here to learn. If you have ideas, share them. This will be appreciated.
Eveline marketing Trainee
"I did an internship in HR at Hotel Beveren. I had a super fun internship here! It is a nice, friendly and dynamic team, we had lots of fun at the office and there is definitely time for a joke every now and then!
During my internship I learned the most from guiding new trainees in the same role. I knew from experience what it is like to start as a new trainee and was therefore able to transfer this well to new interns. I would definitely recommend an internship at Van der Valk to anyone with a hospitality-related education!"

There was plenty of room for personal development and that is what makes working at Van der Valk so valuable. You get the space to challenge yourself and learn/try new things.
During my internship I was always very happy to see my work published, on the website and social media accounts, but also when I walked through the hotel I saw the various posters and flyers that I made myself. In addition, I saw the followers of the social media accounts grow and it always made me very happy to see positive reviews, something we did our best every day with the whole team!"
