Are you just about to complete your degree, or have recently completed your degree, and have a passion for travel?

We want to hear from you as we run a successful graduate programme within our UK Tour Operating Company (TOC) based in London and Cheltenham.

What to expect

When you enrol on the graduate programme at Abercrombie & Kent you will have the opportunity to work with our experienced teams in both offices. This will help you gain an understanding of our products and destinations. You will learn about our tailor-made holidays, group tours along with beach and villa breaks.

There is also an opportunity to spend time with our exclusive Private Clients team at our Harrods boutique. This will give you a flavour of how we help our most elite clients. On occasion, you will travel between the offices to gain a well-rounded understanding of our business.

You will gain experience on how to sell both A&K and Cox & Kings branded products and what makes each brand so unique.

During the programme, you will work alongside fellow graduates on a key project focused on innovation and driving the business forward.  You’ll create a proposal, business plan and present these to the executive team.

Joining our graduate programme will make you a permanent member of the A&K family. On completion, you will be able to select the most appropriate role for you based on your interests and experience gained throughout your time with us.

Requirements

We are always looking for enthusiastic, hard-working people who are keen to learn and progress within our business. If this sounds like you, we’d love you to apply for any of our current graduate vacancies.

Rahma: 

“I remember feeling so nervous about almost everything! However, the colleagues I work with always take the time to teach me all I need to know. There’s a real culture here of learning and developing, and everyone encourages everyone. The culture enables you to use your own initiative, while being supported by experienced colleagues. It’s been fantastic to meet so many people from different backgrounds with such an enthusiasm for the travel industry.” 

Oliver: 

“When I joined A&K, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I wanted to see the world and I knew I wanted to grow, personally and professionally. The truth is you never really know what the future holds, and whether you are making the right decision. As I reflect on the last seven months, I know that I made the right call. What makes A&K special is the people behind it. Any concerns or challenges are met with support and advice, it has been an ideal place for me to begin my career in travel and I am excited to see what is yet to come. ” 

Adam:

“I started at A&K just over five years ago from a graduate intake.  I began as a Latin America sales consultant and managed to be regularly promoted until now becoming the team leader for Latin America, Australasia, Luxury Expedition Cruises (LEC) and North America. 

"I had no background in sales and had only backpacked around Latin America. My time at A&K started well with a comprehensive training schedule with the other graduates which included learning about the product we sell, how the company works and all the booking and flight systems.

"Since then, I was able to enjoy bonuses and some great holidays.  I have been lucky enough to visit Antarctica, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador & Galápagos, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and South Africa - all on work trips.”
