Business of Tourism Experience
As you will now be aware, there are unfortunately no Tourism Academies available in South/East Auckland. This is why we have carefully designed our recent long term course options, whilst students remain at school.
This fantastic course option will give students the opportunity to learn about tourism from a business point of view, with a real focus on the entrepreneurial side of things that Kiwis are so famous for.
This level three academy ensures learners can get the best start in the industry. Additionally, these courses cover a range of sectors in the industry, including adventure tourism, airline and airports, accommodation, activities, attractions and many more.
We have a strong focus on communication, cultural awareness, enterprise & marketing, customer service, leadership, public speaking and presentation skills. These are all valuable skills our industry demands of their future workforce.
ITC’s own Mel and Ceri Jenkins have been heavily involved with the Business of Tourism Academy. They explain why the academy is so important for up-and-coming students in the industry:
“We know many people who now work in tourism who wished there was something available like this for them when they were in school. It would have provided the exact pathway they were looking for and really open their eyes to management and business ownership within tourism.” Mel goes onto to say “I’ve personally seen our Academy students have exciting employment opportunities because this Academy was on their CV. The skills and confidence that students gain through their journey not only builds a strong tourism foundation, but also valuable skills needed for any career students choose to pursue in future.”
