PLS-SEM method was used to analyze the data.FindingsIt was found that students’ multiple skills had improved through application of knowledge in work-integrated learning. Skill improvement helped form positive industry image change and shape future career prospect. However, such positive industry image change did not impact students’ career prospect directly.Originality/valueToday, work-integrated learning has become one of the most valuable opportunities for students in hospitality and tourism management to gain industry experience.
