Introduction

In the era of explosive information and the development of the knowledge economy, collaboration between universities and businesses has become an inevitable trend, especially in the field of human resources training. The collaboration between the Faculty of Economics and Accounting of Quy Nhon University and Binh Duong Hotel is not only a step forward in improving the quality of education but also an opportunity for students to apply knowledge in practice, thereby enhancing professional skills and readiness to integrate into the labor market after graduation.

        Context and Collaboration Needs

        The Faculty of Economics and Accounting, with a mission to train accountants, auditors, and financial experts capable of meeting the demands of the labor market, is always seeking opportunities for students to engage with real-world work environments. Binh Duong Hotel, one of the leading enterprises in Quy Nhon, is also in the process of seeking high-quality human resources to enhance the effectiveness of its business operations. The collaboration between the two parties has opened up a new direction for both students and the business.

         Internship Process and Learning

        Students from the Faculty of Economics and Accounting were carefully selected to participate in the internship program at Binh Duong Hotel. Throughout the internship process, they were exposed to the hotel's actual accounting documents, including invoices, receipts, ledgers, and financial reports. Under the guidance of the Chief Accountant, students learned how to collect, classify, and process these documents, thereby gaining a better understanding of the accounting procedures within the hotel industry.

          Applying Theory into Practice

       Not only limited to theoretical learning, students are also placed in real-life situations to solve accounting issues that arise. They are tasked with financial planning, revenue and cost forecasting, and participation in internal auditing processes. Through this, students can bridge the gap between the knowledge they have acquired and the practical aspects of their work, thereby developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

          Evaluation and Feedback

       After each internship period, students are required to write a report assessing their work experience, in which they must identify the strengths and weaknesses of the accounting system at Binh Duong Hotel. This not only helps students hone their writing and analytical skills but also provides valuable information to the hotel to improve its work processes.
