Work Experience

All of our courses offer a valuable 2 week work experience programme. Students will undertake a 1 week placement in year one then another in year 2. It will also be offered to First Diploma students during their one year course.

Work experience can be an excellent way of making contacts within the industry for future jobs and valuable experience to put on your CV, increasing your employability skills.

Our placements are industry based as we have several links with travel agents and hotels within the Stourbridge area as well as further afield and other types of venues joining our programme constantly. With a team in place to secure work experience and links from the travel teaching staff you will have the opportunity to explore your chosen industry further.
