Jet2holidays and Jet2com on campus to recruit our students

The reawakening of international travel and tourism is creating a surge in employment opportunities.

Published on 04 Apr 2022

Our graduates are well placed to take advantage of developments as is illustrated by a recent visit to our School from senior colleagues at Jet2holidays and Jet2.com.

Kay McCormick, Head of Recruitment, brought a team to speak with our students and to help them establish professional networks. With expert advice and first-hand experience of working with the UK’s second largest tour operator, partners from Jet2Holidays offered insider tips on the application process and inspired many of our students to apply for the wide range of positions currently on offer. It is fitting that the event took place in our School’s Jet2.com suite.

Lisa Gorton, Course Director for BA (Hons) International Tourism Management, said:
“This event builds on our strong foundation of industry engagement. We think it is really important that our students are exposed to a range of networking opportunities and, as in this case, they sometimes have excellent employment opportunities brought right to their doorstep.”
