The Global Tourism Diploma (GTD) program with Co-op introduces students to concepts needed of competent members of an international travel planning team. This program provides students with a background on tourism service suppliers and their social, cultural and political impact, as well as practical introductions to event planning, tour guiding, tourism promotion and customer service. Case studies and common travel problems will be examined. Co-op students work in the tourism sector once their study term is complete.
The Global Tourism Diploma with Co-op will get you working in Canada. You will gain knowledge and develop skills that you can apply in your co-op work term and in your career.
You can choose to include LCC’s Business Diploma Program (BDP) as part of this Co-op program. The Business Diploma program will provide you with information about Canadian workplace practices and support you to create a Canadian-style resume.
During your study term, you will complete the required coursework for the Global Tourism Diploma. You will also take elective courses to improve your English language skills and competencies.
During your work term, you will find a job which allows you to apply your new skills and knowledge. LCC offers free job support services to help co-op students find work.
The number of hours you work will be the same as (not more than) the number of hours in your study term.
In this tutorial, you will review the strengths and weaknesses you noticed during your co-op, and formulate your future career plans.
