A. Length of Intern's Commitment
A student who is fulfilling all required duties can remain in the internship program for a maximum of three years. Smith, Ozman & Joseph's has a commitment to its interns' education and career
goals. College seniors will be assisted with their transition to the working world. Unlike many internship programs that essentially
"sever" the relationship after your term is complete, Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s, Inc. strives to remain in contact
with our grads and assist where we can toward their professional career. The hospitality industry is a people-oriented business,
and any contacts or leads that we can pass on to our internship grads is a small way for us to say thank you for the hard
work and commitment you
B. Leaving the Program or Termination
A student can leave the program at any time on "good terms" if they send a written letter of resignation and give two
weeks notice (time to allow Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s, Inc. to find a replacement). If you leave the program without
notice your status will be considered the same as someone who was terminated from the program permanently. Students who are
receiving school credit and leave before the end of the semester or quarter will not receive full credit for that term. If
you leave under "good terms" you may re-apply to the program, (see re-applying). Any student that doesn't fulfill all the
required duties of the internship program or cannot uphold the Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s, Inc. standards of conduct
will be terminated. If you are terminated, you will be notified by phone, or with a written explanation of your termination.
If you are terminated you may not re-apply to the internship program. The following are a list of examples that can be considered
reasons for termination: Not fulfilling all assignments or projects given to you by Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s; conduct
not consistent with Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s; standards, (i.e. public drunkenness, lewd or sexual misconduct, possession
of a weapon etc.); overstepping the boundaries of the internship program (ex. promising a contract to a client by reason of
your affiliation with Smith, Ozman & Joseph’s, Inc.) These are only
a few examples of the reasons for termination. Each termination will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
C. Re-Applying
Any student that has left the program under "good terms" may re-apply. To
re-apply you must wait until the next enrollment process and send a letter requesting your reinstatement. You will not be
required to submit a new application or letters of recommendation. Please keep in mind that due to the limited number of positions,
you may not be reinstated immediately, but you will be placed at the top of the waiting list. You may only re-apply once on
"good terms", after which you will no longer be eligible to re-apply to the internship program.
