The tourism sector is among the favourite production sectors for many countries. A large part of the production sector is made up of food and beverage. The food production area consists of students who employ the most staff and workplace education. In the tourism sector, the workflow is intense and it can face problems in this area. The study investigated the problems faced by young cook candidates who went to tourist facilities for workplace training, 184 cooking students were reached. Students are asked to evaluate the work-day calendar they spent in industrial tourism facilities within the framework of the workplace training model. The study was created based on the data of students who go to the kitchen for workplace education and the problems they experienced during the training period were compared with demographic characteristics. The result was that the ratio of problems faced in workplace education was low, that male students felt gender discrimination, that they were unfairly treated at workplace, and that students in general saw the workplace practice as part of education. In light of the data obtained, the research has been suggested that the existing problems can be minimized as a result of the research and that the students can adapt to the industry with a specialist opinion.
