Pupils from the N5 Travel and Tourism class attended the citywide Travel and Tourism Conference on Friday 8th September in Dundee and Angus College, Kingsway campus. This is the second such conference to be organised for all pupils participating in this Skills for Work Award. The conference opened with a variety of speakers related to the industry.

Pupils then participated in four workshops on Holiday Reps, Cabin Crew, Travel Agents and Scottish Tourism. In the course of the day, pupils will have gained a particular insight into customer service and employability which will assist them in gaining their outcomes for the award.
