The Tourism Cares Experience the Industry Student Program is an opportunity for travel, tourism, and hospitality students to shadow industry professionals at the annual NTA Convention. The program allows students to explore different sectors of the tourism industry while learning more about various career paths.
2008 Tourism Cares scholarship recipients are invited to participate in this year's program which will be held from Friday, November 14th to Monday, November 17th in Pittsburgh, PA.
Participating students will shadow destination management organizations and tour operators on Sunday, November 16th during the Tour & Travel Exchange.
Roundtable Sessions will be held on the morning of Monday, November 17th. During these sessions, students will meet with industry professionals who will discuss their own career paths and experience in the industry.
Students will then shadow tour suppliers on the afternoon of Monday, November 17th during the Tour & Travel Exchange.
