Destination Sport Group is excited to launch Talent Academy, a career development scheme that aims to find, develop and support talent within its global team.
The scheme, which has a particular focus on early careers, has three key elements:
1. Apprenticeships & Placements
Partnering with top universities and colleges, Destination Sport Group will provide real workplace opportunities for young people while they continue their education.
Opportunities will be available across many of Destination Sport Group’s specialist divisions, with roles in many business areas including marketing, operations, customer service, sales and finance.
As well as attracting new talent, apprenticeship qualifications will also be available to existing staff to help them develop their skills and experience.
2. Mentoring
The mentor scheme will provide early careers employees with guided support from senior colleagues within the business. The structured scheme will provide valuable insights from some of the most experienced people within the sports travel industry, helping to foster a strong culture of growth and collaboration.
3. Destination Future
Aimed at existing employees, Destination Future is a scheme designed to provide a bespoke learning pathway to help individuals progress towards their career goals. The structured programme will be offered to employees from around the global Destination Sport team who will have access to career development training courses as well as networking opportunities across the business.
