Travel is an industry that opens up a world of opportunities, not only for customers but also for the people who work within it.
From customer-facing roles and marketing to technology, sustainability, operations and leadership, our sector offers rewarding careers for people with a wide range of skills and interests. Yet many young people and career changers are not always aware of the breadth of opportunities available.
That’s why it’s so important that we continue to showcase travel as a vibrant, innovative and people-focused industry where individuals can build meaningful and fulfilling careers.
The new digital Travel Weekly Careers Guide was launched recently, created in association with ABTA. The guide highlights the wide variety of roles available across the sector and helps demonstrate that travel offers far more than many people initially realise.
Whether you’re taking your first career steps or looking for a new challenge, there are opportunities to learn, develop and progress throughout the industry.
Alongside raising awareness of careers in travel, we must also ensure there are clear pathways into the sector. Apprenticeships are one valuable route, helping people gain practical experience while developing the skills employers need. They can also help businesses attract new talent and invest in their future workforce.
ABTA continues to support members in making the most of apprenticeships by teaming up with A S Training. Recent webinars and resources have provided practical guidance on funding, programme development and employer success stories, helping businesses understand the benefits apprenticeships can bring.
Ultimately, attracting and developing talent is vital to the future success of our industry. By promoting the diverse career opportunities available and supporting routes into employment, we can help ensure travel remains a sector that offers exciting, rewarding careers for generations to come.
