WTM ‘CPD’ Seminar: From Diploma to Diploma
Thursday 12th November 2009
1400-1500 – North Gallery Room 8
 
The Tourism Society & Tourism Management Institute (TMI) are delighted to present this seminar on the importance of Continual Professional Development (CPD), looking at the career and training ‘map’ for tourism, through the academic or training/apprenticeship routes at undergraduate level to post graduate qualifications including the TMI qualifications in Destination Management.

Speakers include Aviva Pearson MTS, Chief Executive of the North Yorkshire Tourism Partnerships, who has achieved her high level career through training and development and is currently studying the MSc in Destination Management, and Alan Fyall FTS, Deputy Dean, Research & Enterprise, Bournemouth University, who will talk about the experiences of current graduates, what the University does to support them and the content of the TMI qualification, a distance learning qualification awarded by Leeds Metropolitan University and delivered in partnership with  Bournemouth University and Lancaster University.
 
In praise for the diploma, Maureen Rigg of One North East said, “being able to gain a more in depth knowledge of where tourism has come from, how it has developed and what the future potentially holds is fascinating and hopefully will enable me to play a far more proactive/supportive role in the work of the team."
 
The recession has brought a large number of job cuts in the tourism industry and employers are now bombarded with applicants for every vacancy, many applicants are competing for jobs at a lower level than they previously achieved and competition is rife. Getting ahead in tourism is now all about extra training and qualifications to boost your CV. This seminar aims to show the different options available to achieve this goal using the TMI qualifications as an example of how to fast track your career.
