Upskilling of computer and presentation skills will be conducted by recruited IT specialists with special focus on the educational environment
Tourism teachers will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from industry through dedicated sessions throughout the 4-day period.
Each teacher attending the conference will receive a branded bag containing conference paraphernalia, a pre-loaded device with Learning and Teaching Support Material (LTSM) to be used in class and various teaching resources. Teachers will also receive a certificate of participation that may contribute to their annual CPTD score. (The Personal Development Programme).
