Abstract	Industrial training is an important part of hospitality education. It helps students understand real hotel work and professional behaviour required in hotel operations. This study focuses on the expectations, experiences, and career plans of 100 hospitality students in India after completing their industrial training. Before training, students expected to learn practical skills and get better career opportunities. During training, many students face problems such as long working hours, work pressure, stress and communication difficulties with senior staff. Even after these challenges, most students still wanted to continue their career in hospitality. Industry students also believe that industrial training improved their skills and knowledge. The study suggested that colleges and hotels should provide better guidance, support, fair stipend and property Mentoring to make industrial training more useful and effective for students
