Working relations

Article Abstract:

A recent conference held by the National Liaison Group (NLG) looked at the future of tourism degrees. It allowed an exchange of opinions between academics and employers, and delegates were able to express their concerns about the value of tourism studies in higher education. Some employers believe that tourism and travel courses do not meet industry requirements, and calls were made for a better balance between employers and universities.

From a distance

Article Abstract:

The growing availability of open learning programmes is making it possible for leisure professionals to study for qualifications while still meeting other commitments. They often find it hard to study at conventional times, as they usually work shifts, so flexible learning is essential. Such courses are available from institutions including the Unison Open College.
