Clyde Travel Modern Apprenticeships

Clyde Travel Management have partnered with Microcom Training to provide a fantastic opportunity for candidates looking to enter the highly competitive Business Travel sector through our Modern Apprenticeships Programme.

As one of the UK’s leading Business Travel agencies, with a presence in the USA, Scandinavia and Asia, we provide an invaluable service to organisations across a number of industries, ensuring the safe and efficient travel of staff to all corners of the world, in a precise and timely manner.

Based in our Glasgow office, successful applicants will gain a one-year fixed term employment contract, learning all aspects of business travel from bookings and supplier relations, through to finance, as you work across various departments, learning directly from industry experts, many with decades of experience.

At the same time, you will work with representatives from Microcom to gain your Business and Administration Apprenticeship SCQF Level 6 qualification. This advanced qualification is aimed at candidates managing a broad range of activities with significant complexity, responsibility and autonomy, and is suitable up to and including the level of supervisors and team-leaders.

Candidates can submit their application via the contact form alongside and should highlight their qualifications and reasons for applying.

We accept all National 4 & 5 qualifications and above, but candidates must hold a National 5 qualification in English.

The cut-off date for applications for our 2020 intake is Friday 6th December.
