CITC PROMOTES TRAVEL INDUSTRY CAREERS

Sat, 07 May 2011 00:00:00 -0500

In an effort to help the travel agency industry attract new talent, The Canadian Institute of Travel Counsellors (CITC), the educational trade association for Canada’s travel industry, is offering the 1^st of several FREE webinars to consumers of all ages interested in exploring a career in the travel industry. This is an objective webinar that will provide information on:

§ Overview of world tourism 2011 - 2020

§ A day in the life of a travel counsellor (travel agent)

§ The essential skills needed to succeed in the profession

§ Do you have to be a well travelled person to sell travel?

§ Salary and commission plans

§ Myths about the travel counselling profession?

§ How to get trained –where to start and how to choose the right program

§ What kind of jobs are available? How to tailor your job to your own interests.

§ What are the choices of work environments (agency, call centre, home based etc)

§ Continuing education and professional development in the industry

§ Certification programs (CITC, CLIA)

§ Next steps…

Steve Gillick CTM , CITC’s President noted that “CITC receives many contacts from high school students, university graduates, people dissatisfied with their current job, people looking to retire and start a second career. ‘We thought it would serve both the interests of the consumer and the travel industry to offer coaching sessions on ‘How to get into the travel industry’. As the non-profit educational trade association, CITC has no ‘agenda’ other than to promote the benefits of working in travel and build a talent base for the industry”.

Gillick continued to suggest that many people think that internet travel providers and the availability of apps will continually erode the need for enthusiastic, motivated, career-minded travel professionals, but just the opposite is occurring. Tech-savvy consumers tend to research on the internet and then, with their time and money at a premium, they seek the assistance of a travel professional to purchase travel

Gillick said that there are many job openings in the travel industry and a ton of opportunities open for those who want to get paid for something they love to do. “There is an expression” Gillick relayed, that says

A job in the travel industry is an opportunity of a lifetime;

A career in the travel industry is a lifetime of opportunities

The FREE webinar will take place on Saturday May 7^th from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, Eastern time. The only pre-requisite to register is to be interested in obtaining information about an exciting career choice. Get the information and make an informed decision about your future.

Webinar: Competencies, QFs and Learning Taxonomy

Wed, 05 May 2010 00:00:00 -0500

The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC)
invites to virtually attend:

“Competencies, QFs and Learning Taxonomy”

PRESENTER: Nigel Lloyd, Principal at Cambridge Professional Development Ltd

BACKGROUND: During March 2010, the CTHRC commissioned a study to explore Learning Taxonomies in relation to emerit National and International Competency-Based Standards and levels in selected Qualification Frameworks including the evolving Qualifications Framework for the Tourism Sector in Canada (QFTSC).

SCOPE OF STUDY: The study has explored how Bloom's Taxonomy relates to Qualifications Framework levels and involved the development of a new version of Bloom's Taxonomy. It assigned QFTSC levels to three occupational standards (for emerit Event Coordinator, Event Manager and Event Management—International Competency Standards) and assigned levels from three other qualification frameworks from outside of Canada, evaluating the various level descriptors. The three occupational standards were also mapped against each other, using a new methodology developed to assist comparisons. We believe that there are several innovative aspects that will be of interest to a wider audience.

We invite you to participate in the virtual meeting to discuss the results, which will be sent in advance to all participants.

DATE: May 5^th, 2010

TIME: 10 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) or 14:00 (UTC)

DURATION: 1.5 hours
