National Taskforce for Skills and Careers

National Taskforce for Skills and Careers

ATIA established the National Taskforce for Skills and Careers to address the structural issues facing the sector in recruiting and retaining talent. The Taskforce meets twice yearly to provide critical insights to ATIA and meets with Ministers and Departments on the needs of Australia's travel sector.

Membership of the Taskforce ensures all sections of the industry are represented, from listed companies, independent agents, mobile consultants, corporate travel, online platforms, and tour operators.

The Taskforce is currently developing a report on the changes to the skills space to address the current shortage across our sector.
