Newly minted Travel Industry Mentor Experience mentees took part in a graduation and networking event in Sydney this week as a fresh industry intake commenced their journey on the TIME program.
Hosted by Cover-More Travel Insurance in their North Sydney offices, a diverse group of travel industry professionals joined the graduates of TIME programs 56 and 57 to celebrate their respective journeys and achievements.
These include Thea Bainbridge and Jenna Lewis (Jamison Plaza Travel Associates), Julie Dayeh (Black Sheep Tourism), Bhavini Aggarwal (Virtuoso) and Melinda Wouda (Globus Family of Brands).
TIME graduates have access to a wide range of resources, mentoring opportunities, events and support to further their travel industry careers.
Eleven new mentees in the program 60 intake will be matched with an industry mentor to achieve professional growth, new skills and career opportunities.
Ponant CEO Deb Corbett was the graduation and networking evening’s guest speaker and shared stories of her entry into the travel sector, her first job and the mentors she met along the way, offering key takeaways for those in attendance.
TIME Chair & Director Penny Spencer said: “Our first function for 2025 has started the year off with an expectation of excitement for the year ahead.”
“TIME is very grateful for the support Cover-More Travel Insurance continually gives each year to the program.
“We can’t wait to take more people on their TIME journey in 2025,” she said.
Travel Industry Mentor Experience recently announced Nicole O’Sullivan as its new Victoria State Representative.
