Degree: .... .... This scheme gave me
the perfect mix.
My first experience was a two-week induction
to introduce me to the company and to meet
most of the senior directors, including lunch
with the Chairman and dinner with the Chief
Executive. Spending time with the other
graduates in my group helped to create a
strong relationship with people who would
be going through the same challenges for the
next 12 months.
The first few months gave me a chance to get
stuck into all aspects of the business, from
laying bricks to designing sales centres. I
worked with some great people, who ensured
that my learning curve was incredibly steep.
Although the focus was placed on my
development, it was also really refreshing to
have senior managers and directors actually
sitting back and taking notice of my ideas and
suggestions. ....Read the full Editorial

Editorial - TUI Travel

Age: 24
Education: University of Leeds, BA French .... .... TUI Travel trainee scheme appealed
because of the opportunities and diversity of
the placements spread out over an 18 months
contract. With more than 47,000 employees
across the world and over 200 brands,
including two out of the three largest Travel
companies in the UK (Thomson and First
Choice) it was clear that it was more a case
of deciding what route I personally wanted
to explore rather then being told in which
areas of the business I should gain work
experience. With the Group split into 5 main
sectors, Mainstream, Activity, Specialist and
Emerging Markets, Joint Venture and Online
Destinations Services, there was certainly
no lack of choice, and I was excited about
the opportunities available to me not only
in the UK but also abroad, for example at

I graduated from York University with a BSc

I joined .... .... a rolling training
scheme of more specialised techniques, in
which there is some scope for the trainee
to input into the direction that their training
takes. This rolling scheme means that even
after a year in the job, there are still new things
for me to learn, which I like as it means that
my job is constantly changing and evolving,
which stops it from becoming monotonous.
As I have become trained in, and competent
in, a greater range of histological techniques, I
have also found that the level of responsibility
to which I am exposed has increased. This
is reflected in the number and type of tasks
which I am set on a daily basis, and the
direction in which my training has gone.
However, the department is set up to introduce
responsibility gradually, and so whilst the
level of responsibility that I have taken on
over the last year has grown, it is likely to
further increase as I spend longer in the job. ....Read the full Editorial
