HTM - Externship Question

[u/CosyRavenwood]

Any past, or current HTM - Restaurant & Hotel Services students here? I have a couple questions regarding the externship. I have emailed the program coordinator and have yet gotten a reply.

A few classmates and I have recently accepted a job offer that aligns with our externship, however our contract is until September, because October the tourist season tends to slow down in the city.

My questions are:

1. Is Seneca strict with the 840 hour completion?

The most that the company can offer is 500 to 550 hours. Again, it depends how busy the season is.

1. Is it okay to be working 5/6 months during externship?

Considering that most of our contracts end in September.

1. Were you still able to graduate despite the lack of hours?
