Barrhead Travel has already created 60 tourism apprenticeships this year and the 25 new modern apprenticeships will cover a variety of skill sets such as sales apprenticeships and digital marketing apprenticeships.

The company hopes to further expand its apprenticeship offering to 100 new apprentices next year, will an overall target of 20 per cent of all roles being for apprentices in the future.

As well as a competitive salary, uncapped commission and a vibrant social events calendar, our specialists receive worldwide educational trips to gain in-depth knowledge and experience first-hand the holidays we offer our customers.”
