case study


After leaving school I travelled in Australia, Thailand and Singapore.


This experience fuelled my desire to work in travel and I decided to try and get straight into the industry rather than going to university. I joined Stella Travel


business and are perfectly- placed to be on hand to support new colleagues.


Modern Apprenticeship programme We continue to invest in our successful 12-month Modern Apprenticeship programme, which develops young people with a passion for travel and provides a solid foundation for apprentices to learn their trade both in the classroom and on the shop floor.


Last year’s apprentices


from Travelbag have completed their one-year programme, culminating in a trip to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Thailand to experience the luxurious products our customers can enjoy. This, in turn, will help them to sell our many fantastic destinations. We are delighted that one of our apprentices, Emily Stringer, recently achieved the ‘highly commended’ award at the National Apprenticeships Awards.


Graduate Training programme Stella is also committed to investing in newly-qualified graduates and we have a number of these in various parts of the organisation. Travel 2, our award- winning tour operator, has recently recruited a group of newly-qualified graduates and we continue to work in partnership with colleges in Glasgow to give others the opportunity to come on board.


Services as a product apprentice in August 2013. During the year I learned a lot about the industry, and was involved in working with our suppliers on contracts as well as supporting brochure production. This hands-on experience was invaluable in kick-starting my career. I was delighted to


be asked to take on a permanent role as assistant product and purchasing manager for our short-haul programme in May and I’m thoroughly enjoying my work. The role is so varied: working in short-haul means I get to deal with many different areas. It’s great being faced with a fresh challenge every day.
