Q TRAVEL INDUSTRY SKILLS WORKING GROUP
3 Apprenticeships Apprenticeships have always been a key way of attracting skilled individuals into the travel industry. These range from sector-specific roles including aviation and travel consultant apprenticeships, to wide-ranging areas such as IT, engineering, digital marketing, HR and finance. And they aren’t just for school-leavers
– apprenticeships are also suited to existing staff, while degree apprenticeships offer a chance to gain on-the-ground experience while earning a degree-level qualification.
Abta has played a key role in recent months in developing new qualifications suited to the modern travel industry. The previous government’s reforms of post-16 education were set to defund Level 3 travel and tourism courses – among other Level 3 qualifications – but Abta joined with academics and other tourism organisations and associations to respond to the proposed changes. By uniting this group and consulting
Abta has always supported
apprenticeships and is represented on the Aviation Industry Skills Board, which oversees aviation and travel apprenticeships and skills, and works closely with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Skills. For members, Abta has an
apprenticeship training provider partner which can advise and assist with apprenticeship queries. Apprentices must reach an industry-recognised level to qualify, which includes a formal assessment.
with both members and the wider industry, Abta was able to advise on key themes for a future Level 3 technical qualification in travel and tourism. It also helped link NCFE, the awarding body working on the new qualification, with key industry players. The group continues to focus on improving and advising on current and future skills needed in the travel industry.
