P&O Cruises Australia have partnered with Cruise Eden to sponsor a groundbreaking two-year School Based Traineeship (SBAT) in Certificate III Tourism, the first of its kind for an Australian regional port, aimed at creating vocational employment and training opportunities for aspiring young professionals in the South Coast region, with a passion for the Tourism industry. 🌟
The program’s first trainees are, Keely Grebert and Ocea Thiedeman, talented Year 11 students from Eden Marine High School. They embarked on their traineeship, with Cruise Eden Manager and Educator, Debbie Meers, who will mentor and guide them on all aspects of the maritime tourism industry. Keely and Ocea have assisted Cruise Eden with operations on cruise days and are currently training with other tourism businesses in the winter months to broaden their industry experience and knowledge. They are currently working with the Eden Killer Whale Museum, where they sat down with Chrisi Haar from Fusion Walan Miya Group. This practice session served as an assessment for “providing a briefing or scripted commentary.” 📝
The Fusion Walan Miya Group are incredibly excited about the P&O sponsored partnership and traineeship SBAT in Cert III Tourism and the immense potential it holds for these young individuals to develop skills, gain hands-on experience, and pave the way for a successful career in the Tourism industry.
Join us in congratulating Keely and Ocea as they embark on this incredible opportunity, and stay tuned for more updates on their journey! 🙌✨
