Portobello has developed a work placement programme with a strong network of travel and tourism contacts to benefit you. The work placement programme allows you to develop both your skills and confidence. Graduate feedback has found that these are key elements for gaining employment in the travel and tourism industry.

That first-hand experience and insight is vital for your skill development, but it has also directly led to employment for many of our past students. A significant number of our graduates work for companies such as Guinness Storehouse, Cassidy Travel, Corporate Travel Services, Aer Lingus and Ryanair.

Portobello Institute offers one-to-one support for each student to guide you through your course. Our programme management and tutoring team are passionate about helping you achieve your goals. They have been carefully chosen based on their qualifications and practical experience because you haven’t done this before, but they have and they know the way forward.
