Our Tour4Youth journey: Jaunmoku Palace

Traineeship opportunities at a historical site

Tour4Youth is an international collaboration between actors from Finland, Estonia and Latvia. As a result of this collaborative working style, we are able to provide the program to youths in three different countries. One of the organizations offering traineeships is Jaunmoku Palace in Latvia. They share their thoughts on the impact of having an intern.

Jaunmoku Palace is a historic palace in Latvia that offers tourism, hospitality, and event organization services. They provide venues and an environment for organizing various events, and they also host cultural events themselves, enriching the cultural life of the region. Their activities include museum exhibitions, weddings, conferences and seminars, guest accommodation, and restaurant services.

Young specialists bring new ideas and energy

The impact of having an intern working at an organization is mutually beneficial at its best:

“Internships allow us to engage young specialists who bring new ideas and energy. It is also a great way to educate future tourism and hospitality professionals by helping them gain practical knowledge and experience.“

They are looking for enthusiastic, creative, and responsible individuals who are interested in culture, history, and the hospitality industry.

“Essential skills include communication, language proficiency, teamwork, and adaptability to different situations.”

“Personal growth in this industry depends on practical experience, continuous learning, communication skills, and a willingness to work in a dynamic environment.“

International work experience is highly valuable as it provides a broader perspective

When applying for work, it’s important to follow the application instructions offered by the organization. Also don’t forget to show your motivation:

“We recommend preparing a motivation letter explaining why you would like to work. It is also important to highlight your skills and experience, be ready for an interview, and show an interest in our activities.”

International workforce is becoming increasingly important in the industry, as tourism is a global sector where diverse cultural perspectives and language skills are valuable:

“International work experience is highly valuable as it provides a broader perspective on industry trends, enhances communication skills, and helps better understand the needs of guests from different nationalities.”

Currently, Jaunmoku Palace offers vacancies in the catering sector, but we are also open to cooperating with young people who need internships in hospitality and cultural event management.:

“We are happy to welcome every new talent who joins our team! Jaunmoku Palace is a place where you can gain valuable experience, develop your skills, and enjoy a unique working environment in a historic atmosphere.”
