Norwegian now has more TIME
NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has launched two new Travel Industry Mentor Experience (TIME) scholarships for the Australian travel trade.
The Partners First bursary offers an invaluable opportunity for two motivated travel advisors to further their careers through a six-month mentoring relationship that will help them accelerate their progress in achieving their personal career goals and objectives.
NCL launched its inaugural Partners First scholarships last year (CW 17 Feb 2022), with Johanna Wood from Helloworld Travel Mackay, Mt Pleasant & Willows and Katrina Tufi from Cruise Guru/Travel The World set to graduate later this year.
Norwegian Business Development Executive Tahlia Shaw is currently completing her six-month mentorship program, while two senior NCL staff members - Vice President & Managing Director APAC Ben Angell, and Senior Sales Manager Angela Middleton - are members of the pool of mentors available as part of the scheme.
“The TIME mentoring program is a hands-on course which is equally rewarding for both mentees and mentors,” Middleton said.
“What’s more, it’s an experience which will have a powerful, and measurable impact on mentees’ future career paths.” The two successful scholarship winners will be owner/managers or senior consultants at a travel agency in Australia, aged 18 and over, working full-time, and having been in the industry for at least one year.
Interested agents should apply before 26 Mar.
“We are extremely proud of our genuine commitment to putting our Partners First at NCL and giving back to the travel community by supporting the industry’s top talent,” Norwegian Sales Director Damian Borg added.
“We encourage all travel agents seeking to take the next step in their career to consider applying.”
