Travel Gateway
The Travel Gateway programme gives secondary school students a unique chance to gain work experience in a travel industry workplace and gain the basic travel knowledge that will help them kick-start their future careers.
The programme has been designed to make it as convenient as possible for busy travel professionals to mentor Gateway students. Much of the programme can be completed online, through an innovative web-based training resource. Travel agency mentors should provide support and be available to answer questions.
