“…Previous studies have found that hospitality students are much less committed to the hospitality industry when they have more experience within the profession (Purcell & Quinn, 1996;Getz, 1994).

Research has also shown that internship experience negatively affects the hospitality students' attitudes toward the industry and their intentions in terms of getting hospitality jobs (Anandhwanlert & Wattanasan, 2016).…”

Tourism and Hospitality Management Schools' students must complete their internship before graduation in four or five stars hotels or travel agencies in Turkey. Some students may have negative perceptions of tourism education and working conditions in the industry, after they have worked as trainees in the industry. The aim of the study is to compare the perceptions and expectations of students in relation to tourism industry who have done their internship with those who have not and is to explore the differences in their future expectations and any changes in their career plans. For the purpose of the study a questionnaire was prepared, based on relevant literature, and the survey was conducted in the School of Tourism and Hotel Management at Anadolu University in Turkey. 204 students were selected by the use of stratified sampling as the study sample from the first, second, third and the fourth year. Half of the questionnaires were distributed to students who had done their internship and the rest to the students who had not undertaken internship yet. Results indicate that the respondents' perceptions and expectations of the industry were not significant according to their experience. Finally, the differences between respondents are summarized and implications are drawn for the educational institutions and further studies.

The importance of the development of vocational education has been highlighted by the European Commission through the communication “Rethinking education” and the one regarding the fight against unemployment among young people. Based on the study of the specialized literature, a number of relevant aspects were identified, regarding the importance of the education and training of the people in relation to the creation of new successful business models but also the importance of studying the profile, attitude and perception of future employees (Generation Z). In Brașov county, Romania, the dual education system was implemented in 2012 and since that moment, the number of both students enrolled and schools grew. This article will show the results of a study case made on the dual system school on tourism, obtained through a questionnaire addressed to students that are participating in dual training, to reveal their perception on this education system. This scientific approach aims to highlight the pros and cons according to the perception of the next employees. Most young people have problems finding their first job, and the practice in business units, specific to the dual education system, can prove to be very attractive to both them and the employers. The importance of the subject in this article derives from both the actuality and the importance of this problem, as well as the fact that in many countries, the system of dual education is relatively “young”.
