Ex Student comes to visit

The BTEC National Travel and Tourism 2nd years had the pleasure of chatting to an ex Stourbridge College travel student on Monday 15th March, when Danielle Clews took time out of her full time job as a travel agent, to talk to the students.

Dani has been working for Thomas Cook Travel agent in Halesowen for nearly 3 years and secured the job after leaving Stourbridge College with her Btec National Certificate in June 2007.

 

Dani was able to pass on her experience of the recruitment and training process as well as her industry knowledge. The advice and knowledge was invaluable to the students as they are studying recruitment processes as part of their ‘working in industry’ unit for the qualification and all looking for jobs in the industry from June onwards

Dani answered a variety of questions from the students offering a look at the positives and perks of the job role as well as some of the harsh realities of life in the industry.

The students appreciated the visit which is part of a series of guest speakers joining the travel team this month including a resort rep and training manager.
