GTMC UPDATE

Adrian Parkes

As an industry organisation, it is important that we broaden our commitment to nurturing new talent in the business travel sector.

And so we recently launched our GTMC Education programme that consolidates all activities and objectives in our People and Talent Strategy Group to promote the industry, its career opportunities amongst future talent and support the industry through qualifications and learning.

Initiatives such as the Bournemouth University partnership and the newly launched ‘Pathway to Business Travel Professional’ apprenticeship programme support our strategy to attract and develop exceptional talent.

And a central pillar to GTMC Education is the Diploma in Business Travel Management developed for both current TMC employees and for those who wish to join the industry with a certified diploma. The e-learning programme will help drive standards within the sector and create a clear pathway for career development.

At a time when automation is a hot topic, it’s important to recognise our sector thrives on human interaction and we must all nurture talent.
