From day one, you're given real responsibility which has given me great experience, helped me to improve my confidence, and I've had the chance to connect with brilliant colleagues.
One of the best parts of my Commercial Apprenticeship has been the variety – each day brings its new challenges and learning opportunities! The support from my manager and colleagues has been exceptional and I’ve developed many new skills since joining TUI. My advice for anyone applying is to be yourself and show your passion for the travel industry!
