They are international exchange students who will be taking up Tourism and Hospitality Management courses in the Korean university, after which they will be given the opportunity to work at the hotel, all within a one-year period.
The equivalent units they earn through their academic and employment stint in South Korea will be credited to the program they are enrolled in at LPU.
