“…Owing to the worldwide expansion of higher education, encouragement of student mobility by institutions and governments, emergence of new technologies and individual incentives (OECD, 2009b), it is expected that no fewer than 7.2 million students will study at foreign higher education institutions by 2025 (Böhm, Davis, Meares, & Pearce, 2002). In Australia, approximately a third of university students are international (Ruhanen, Robinson, & Breakey, 2013), one of the highest proportions in the world (OECD, 2009a(OECD, , 2013a.…”

Tourism researchers have identified the impact of perceived risk on destination choice and travel behaviour, and differences in general traveller risk perceptions based on both traveller and trip characteristics. However, such research has neglected the travel of international university students, despite the expansion and economic importance of this market. This paper outlines an exploratory study conducted on international university students studying at an Australian university. A total of 407 valid responses from the sample were achieved. Factor analysis identified four main risk factors which were labelled 'human-induced risk', 'social-psychological risk', 'financial risk', and 'health risk'. Student origins were found to influence risk perceptions. In particular, Asian students perceived higher levels of human-induced and social-psychological risks compared with students primarily from America and Europe. Travel experience and repeat visitation significantly reduced risk factors apart from health risks. Financial risks were higher for students planning to travel in Australia compared with Asia and America. The implications for destination marketing are considered, and future research avenues based on the results are outlined.

“…Internship, work experience or integrated learning experience (WIL) are key elements of the curriculum for students in many fields study as a transitional form of courses designed to bridge academics and workplaces [6]. Internship not only offers opportunities for students to apply what they have learned in class, but also to foster a variety of careerrelated skills, such as time management, self-discipline, and communication [7].…”

Internships are one of the learning activities that support students in learning to plunge into the real world of work. By participating in the internship program, students get knowledge about what is happening in the world of work. The purpose of this literature review is to review the relevant journals to get an overview of which activities involve the apprentice training participants, and the role of the industry as a place of learning for students during the internship process. The method used is to search for literature and select relevant abstracts. The results of the identified research appear to group into two main groups: (a) the careers of Vocational High School students at the time of the empirical study internship have found work research that significantly enhances student career development (b) technical and vocational education training in TVET qualification work assignments.
