I've loved every second of my apprenticeship here so far, read all about it here...

The apprenticeship scheme has taught me many things and especially that you are there to help everybody.

I love that every day is different when you work in travel, you are always meeting new people and working on new and exciting enquiries.

If you want a job full of excitement where no day is the same then I would encourage applying for Hays Travel straight away!

It’s a great way to earn whilst you learn as it gives you a real insight into the job and the industry.

I have always loved travel and after I finished studying Travel & Tourism at college, I knew I wanted to get straight into the industry.

I have been a homeworking Personal Travel Consultant with Hays Travel for the past 2 ½ years. They have been my most enjoyable and rewarding working years to date.

The best thing about working in Hays Travel for myself is the constant feeling of team work and that you are never alone.

I am now well into the second year of my apprenticeship & I continue to develop & learn more every day!

I love travel and the apprenticeship has been above and beyond my expectations, learning about different destinations and suppliers.

My Apprenticeship helped me find my confidence in not only selling holidays but trying new things.

One of the best things of working for Hays Travel is the family feeling and working with the most friendliest bunch of people.

I never really thought about joining travel, until I saw the apprenticeship application pop up. I decided to go for it and the rest is history!

The apprenticeship scheme has taught me everything I know in travel to be honest, everything from worldwide geography, supplier training days.

The apprenticeship scheme taught me about company in more detail and how the company strives on making sure you can be the best you.
