Chief Executive's Message

TOURISM TRAINING AUSTRALIA

Lead, follow, or move out of the way might best describe the changing training agenda for industry operators as we move through the new millennium, with changes coming at an exciting and demanding pace.

Tourism is big business and the robust training agenda led by TTA with industry is achieving outstanding success, but there is still much to complete.

Vocational education in Australia has a vibrant and fast-paced agenda. The ongoing success of training, increased mature-age employment opportunities, on-line learning & E-Business programs - are all ingredients of future success in the Tourism, Hospitality & Caravan industries.

With an employment base of more than 1.3 million people, the industry is now preparing for an additional 325,000 new jobs in all sectors of tourism and hospitality. Each year more than 268,000 people undertake full and part-time training which is a salute to the progress being made by partnerships between industry and Registered Training Organisations.

The TTA Industry Network extends to all States and Territories throughout Australia and around the globe and we welcome your contact at any time. Keep in touch as we continue to launch innovative worldwide benchmark training products and systems.
