Tourist Vocational Training in Rethymno's Department of Tourism
Throughout the years Rethymno Department of Tourism gives youth access to tourism projects connecting local and foreign teens with the destination and giving them practicing and learning skills.
The City of Rethymno understands the role of education and training in developing Rethymno's most important asset, our young people. Recently Rethymno's Department of Tourism hosted a group of Erasmus + young students from Poland.
Vocational training activities are a must in today's tourism industry. Without updated working skills, all other resources are ineffective, whether you are operating a family-owned taverna, a small business travel agent, or working for a large hotel, a destination should develop all the necessary requirements.
The Professional Training Institute of Rethymno (IEK) has chosen the department of tourism for the practice of the young students for their practical education in tourism adding to its program curriculum, visitors management. The Department of Tourism is very happy about IEK's initiative to give a working involvement to the practitioners and organize together programs.
