“Andrew, Charles and Brian were fantastic. They complemented each other really well and spoke about the changes and challenges in our industry dating back to the 70’s which was intriguing. There were lessons galore for everyone in the room”, says Emily.

“Anyone who thinks that mentoring is boring, simply hasn’t been to a TIME function. TIME is a not-for-profit organisation with a single, unwavering focus: to develop the next generation of travel and tourism industry leaders within a mentoring and peer collaboration environment”, says Penny.

Since its foundation in 2009, TIME has accelerated the leadership and career paths of some 200 graduates from more than 100 travel, tourism and hospitality businesses.

  • TIME is now seeking applicants for its 33rd program intake commencing 13 February, 2019.
  • Expressions of interest are due by Friday 25 January, 2018.
