This study aims to explain the importance of field training raised in the curriculum of the hotel management major, especially to consider the introduction of an operating system in the form of weekend field training. Experimental cases we tried to derive the implications through in-depth interview of 7 students, and research was conducted according to a phenomenological approach. First, looking at the motives for participation in the weekend field training, most of the cases were aimed at linking to employment or industry experience, and a combination of economic goals was accompanied by a complex choice. The activity content of the weekend field training was not much different from that of the existing hotel field training, so it was mainly in charge of auxiliary work for front-line workers in field work such as concierge and F&B service, and served as a practice process for career advancement. The operational results of the weekend field training include help in making career decisions for students, establishing a personal network with employees in the hotel, linking to long-term field training after the weekend field training as a short-term field training, salary paid by the hotel, and government subsidies. In terms of problems and improvement directions of weekend field training, curriculum formation to relieve physical and mental fatigue in combination with education/practice, difficulty in forming relationships with workers, and various experience opportunities through rotational work, uncertainty in the process linking practice, and due to the lack of preparation in advance, it was required to establish a systematic linkage system and reinforcement of additional educational content during the week.
