The program will focus on practical skills for the next generation of travel advisors.
Travellers Choice has just announced ProStart, a three-month training program designed to accelerate agents who are new to the industry.
Announced at the Travellers Choice Conference this morning, the program focuses on building on-the-job skills and covers topics like industry fundamentals, products and destinations, sales techniques and management.
“Our members today have 20% fewer staff than in 2019 and the challenge for all businesses has been finding new people,” said Travellers Choice Managing Director Christian Hunter.
“Everybody is looking for experienced staff that simply don’t exist in the numbers needed.”
“ProStart will provide vital support to our members by helping them bring new talent into their businesses, while ensuring new starters feel supported and want to remain in the travel industry.”
