Hi all!

My name is Cloe Teljoar and I am 25 years old. I am currently living in the centre of Eindhoven together with my boyfriend. Previous week I started my placement at GGzE, which is a psychiatric care institution located in Eindhoven. Preferably, I would like to start writing my bachelor thesis followed up by my personalisation.

Since there are many topics within the service centre of GGzE that might be interesting for my thesis, the manager suggested to have 2 weeks of orientation to find out which topic suits me best. Furthermore, those 2 weeks give me detailed insight of what GGzE has to offer for their clients and employees.

With the right help from this course and of course a little help each other when in need, we sure can pass this last phase of our school career at the NHTV!

Hello everyone,                                                                                          My name is Yiqiang Xie, currently still living in Breda but will probably go back home to Aruba soon for a short period. I only need to do a bachelor thesis, no personalisation. I did a placement in London for a catering department. During my placement in London I got the opportunity to travel for my work to different sites across England. For me it definitely added that extra fun to the work. However, I was surprised that many sites were not equipped/designed for this type of mobility working. For my Bachelor thesis I will be focussing on this topic of flexible workplace. In my free time I like to paint and draw. I love traveling, cultures and food.                                                                   I am looking forward to this and best wishes for you all.                                                    Cheers,                                    Yiqiang :)

Dear all,

My name is Simone van Buuren, and I am currently living part of my time in Cadzand-bad. In the weekends I am living in Beesd with my dad. From the 30st of January on I will start my second placement at the Strandhotel in Cadzand. Besides selling hotel rooms, the hotel is currently under construction, so that they will hopefully be able to open the new part of the hotel (from 34 to 71 rooms) somewhere around July. I will partly assist the hotel with the operational department, and during the afternoons I will work on my bachelor thesis and the new project of this hotel. For my bachelor thesis I am going to investigate the marketing, which needs to be completely renewed, for the hotel. At the end I will get the chance to implement the marketing plan in the hotel. Hopefully this course will help us writing our bachelor thesis.

Good luck everybody.

Dear classmates,

My name is Willem Krielaart, I am 23 years old and currently living in TIlburg. The past 6 months I spent at NHTV Hopmansstraat for a minor called ''Making Places and Shaping Destinations''. I wanted to broaden my knowledge by doing a minor at a different academy with a greater focus on tourism and urban planning. I learned lots of new things about destination marketing; urban design; place-making; place/city branding; tourism and visitor economy and much more. A very interesting addition to my ''hotel knowledge''.

I have done my internship in the 2nd year at the Hilton London Syon Park. Over there I have assisted in opening and setting up a new Guest Services department and worked on a project focusing on increasing the pre-arrival experience satisfaction level. After successfully finishing my internship, I started a new job at Efteling in the reservations department. I work very closely with yield in order to make all third-party and corporate reservations go smoothly.

For my thesis I want to combine my hospitality background with the minor I just finished. I want to write about how Efteling can grow towards being an international destination in 2030 and have more loyal guests and get to know more information about their guests. I would like to propose a loyalty program focusing on the stay over guests.

I wish you all good luck with writing your thesis and hope to see you all soon.

Kind regards,

Willem

Hi everyone, 

My name is Inge Teitsma, 21 years old and still living in Breda. However, this year I also spent a lot of time at my parents place, to reduce the traveling time for my placement. I started in september with my placement at Claus Company in Hoofddorp, which is a family owned company, running a hotel (Marriott franchise), an event center and a beach house. It is a really nice company and I am doing my internship at the HR department. I will be here until June.

For the personalization part, I organized an event for apprentice cooks of the Marriott Hotels in the Netherlands, so they get to know the other hotels and hopefully chose one of them for their next apprenticeship or first job. We organized this because it is currently very hard to find enough staff, especially cooks. 

My thesis is also going to be related to this topic: I am going to research how Claus can best recruit the different generations.

Talk to you all soon!

Inge

Hello lovely people!

My full name is Kristína, but everybody calls me Kika and I am 23 years old. I originally come from Slovakia from a small town. For the past few years I have had two internships both with Marriott International at the reception (Brussels) and also in sales department (Prague). The one in Prague was my favourite as Czech culture is really close to mine and the people I was working with were absolute sweetie pies I must say! I might even start working there from September full time but first things first - BT!

One of my passions is talking to people, getting to know different cultures and the organizational change fascinates me. Therefore, my thesis will be closely related to HR, organizational change and I will definitely look more into cross-cultural trainings.

I hope we all will help each other and we will successfully get through the upcoming months together!

I am looking forward to seeing you online and I wish you all strong nerves haha! :)

Dear all,

My name is Marielle Sand, I am 21 years old and I just finished my 6 months placement at the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) in Luxembourg. During this personalisation phase I worked on an asset management project, importing various data and coming up with requirements and recommendations on how the system should be improved regarding this specific topic.

As of 1st February, I will start my graduation placement at JLL in Amsterdam, for the Diageo account, where I will write my Bachelor Thesis. Having a strong interest in the workplace environment, the topic of my thesis will be related to the implementation of workplace strategies.

I trust that the BT course will support and guide us through this last semester.

Wishing you all a successful completion!

Marielle

Hi everyone!

My name is Kendra Klucs, I am 21 years old and currently doing a placement at the head office of Hilton in Frankfurt for the European procurement department. For my personalisation I focused on all internal processes of the Hilton Supply Management Europe department and come up with ideas of improving current processes and decision making.

I find it very interesting to have a look at what effects internal communication has on a global company and how they can adapt and adjust their processes to inform their employees enough to give them the rest they need but not give too much information which is not confirmed or planned yet. Therefore, during my thesis I will focus on the creation and implementation of an internal communication plan for when the department faces restructuring.

Let’s hope we can all support each other where we can to all graduate in June/August! 😊

Cheers! Kendra

Hello everyone,
Nice to see you all.

My name is Viktor or simply Vik and I am 26 years old (damn it, time flies) and a Fast-Track student of Hotel Management.

For my last 6 month of the program I will do an internship at the InterContinental Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam as Duty Manager, Additionally, I will conduct a research for Mr Roevens on the topic "How things Change with Chaos: A Change management project". As we all know the hospitality industry goes through a constant change and the Amstel Hotel with its 150 years hospitality experience will surely provide me with the right data.

I hope and truly believe that in the upcoming view month we can learn from each other and make this journey even more successful.

Cheers,
Vik

Hello,

My name is Marjolein Verheggen and I am 21 years old. I live in Amsterdam and I am doing my graduation internship at HMS Host Schiphol Airport.

At HMShost I work as a purchasing coordination assistant which makes me a part of the F&B team. During my internship I am the first point of contact for all the suppliers, and for all the HMSHost stores at Schiphol and Rotterdam Airport.  I love working at Schiphol as it is a world on its own and every day is different.

For my personalization I focused on quality improvement by designing a tool which will help to monitor and control the quality within the restaurants. My thesis will be related to the topic of quality improvement.

I hope that this BT course will guide me in writing my thesis and that we can help each other during these months!

Hi all,
My name is Lisanne Versteegh, 21 years old and currently enrolled in the minor Hospitality innovations and imagineering. I am living in Breda but since the beginning of January until 14th of April I am studying in Helsinki to finish the other part of this minor.

Since this minor takes more time, it wasn't an option for me to start a placement (this would cause a delay) and therefore I want to start here (in helsinki) with writing my thesis and finish it when i am back in Breda.

I am interested in customer behaviour and the effects of reviews in the hospitality industry. Since I am studying FM, it will be more relevant to focus on the catering industry for my research.

I am really enjoying Helsinki at the moment and I am aware that combining the minor and writing the thesis can be a struggle to keep up with it, but I think following the BT course can help me doing it!

Hi!

My name is Inge Slokkers, 21 years old. I am doing a nine month placement at HMS Host International on the F&B cost control department. I moved to Heemstede, a city nearby Schiphol to save traveling time.

I started my placement in September and during my personalization part I have written a report about different reports that are used by the company to controll all outlets.

For my bachelor thesis I will go more in dept and I will do research about all the risks the current system has. This also includes writing policies and procedures for the company.

I hope we can help each other during this last phase of graduation!

Hi group 6!

My name is Juliet and I am currently following my graduation placement as a Duty Manager at the Hilton Rotterdam. So far this placement has been a great experience because I am able to further express my passion within the hotel industry; by trying to deliver each guest a great service experience that goes beyond their expectations. In order to increase the guest satisfaction and total service quality, the hotel would like to change their current valet parking system. Therefore, my bachelor thesis will be focusing on the parking facilities at Hilton Rotterdam by which I will analyze the current parking system as well as the option to develop a new self-parking system. I am looking forward to this graduation course and your feedback!

Hi all,

My name is Tess and I am 22 years old. I am currently in my 6th month of my graduation placement in the HR Department of Hilton Rotterdam, my city.

I love working in HR because I know everyone and everything going on in the hotel. I am especially interested in the gap between working preferences of millennials vs. boomers and the increased employee turnover linked to this. Together with my Placement Supervisor I have discussed to write my thesis about the link between employee empowerment and employee accountability.

In my spare time I dance, cheerlead and play in musicals. I hope we will graduate together and support each other during the process! go group 6!! :)

Dear all, my name is Sabrina Brugel and I will be your lecturer for the BT-course of this semester. I live in Den Bosch, with my partner Wim and our 4 month old puppy Nala.

I have quite some experience in research, having worked as a scientific researcher at the University of Amsterdam and then as a lecturer in research and graduate coach at Fontys in Eindhoven, before I started as a lecturer and graduate coach at the NHTV.

I know both first- and second hand what fun, but also struggles come with writing your thesis, but more important, the feeling of pride and accomplishment when getting your degree.

Although this course has a strong emphasis on independency and, in all cases, you will be asked to help each other out first, I am determined to guide this process in a way that helps and motivate you during every step of the way.

See you all soon,
Sabrina Brugel

Hi Group 6 Mates,
I am Teuntje and I am currently doing my final internship at the Renaissance Hotel Amsterdam. Therefore Amsterdam is temporary my new home .I was born in the south of the Netherlands and raised with a Burgundian lifestyle. I am currently working at the Event Planning department. This has been a great succes for my professional development. Yet I figured out that my personality is a better fit in a ' guest facing department'. My passion for the service industry is enormous, therefore my thesis topic will be related to this. I hope we can help each other out during this course and make it a succes for everyone. See you in the online course !
