The three stakeholders of internship are the academic Scholars, the students, and the industry (Chen and Shen, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to examine students' internship experience and assess how the internship programs affect their overall satisfaction, if it in turn affects their employment in the future and whether it differs from a faculty to another. This research seeks to examine the factors that can lead to a good internship experience and how such experience would influence students' desire to join the tourism and hospitality industry after their graduation. To achieve the objective of the study the researcher experimented a model to measure the effect of internship program planning, industry involvement and students' self-commitment on the overall satisfaction of the students with their internship experience. A questionnaire is used as a research method and it targets students from various tourism and hotels faculties in Egypt. The respondents perceived that internship program planning and industry involvement are the most important factor affecting their internship experience. Moreover, the students' overall satisfaction within the internship experience do not affect their willingness to pursue a career in the tourism and hospitality industry after graduation.
