Want to get your career off to a flying start? The sky’s the limit with TUI. We’re the world's number one tourism business, operating in around 180 destinations worldwide, which means limitless global opportunities for you and your future.

As an apprentice in our Commercial team, you’ll spend two invaluable years working right at the heart of our business – with real responsibilities, and the chance to work on real projects. You’ll gain a unique insight into our exciting and dynamic industry, with exposure to many other functional areas and senior colleagues, as well as the opportunity to enhance your professional skills through an extensive and tailored programme of learning and development. You’ll have lots of fun during your time with us, and we’ll ensure you get the support you need every step of the way.

Our Commercial Apprenticeship programme is a unique and exciting opportunity to gain a Level 3 Business Administrator qualification whilst developing a rewarding career in our commercial team. It involves two years of study while being paid in a full time permanent commercial role.

And, when you join our Commercial Apprenticeship Programme, you’ll be joining TUI as a permanent colleague – moving into a role with one of the teams you’ve worked with during the programme once you’ve finished your rotations.

What you’ll be doing

The time that our customers spend away on our holidays is precious. That’s why we need to understand what our customers want as well as how the world is changing so we can design, develop and deliver dream holidays. Our Commercial team do just this, sustainably delivering growth and profitability through cleverly managing price, focusing on cost and controlling the availability of our products. From liaising with hotel buyers, to forecasting travel trends, developing holiday brochures, and pricing holidays – it’s all in a day’s work in this area at the heart of our business.

As a Commercial Apprentice, you’ll gain unrivalled insight into how we go about planning, pricing and selling our TUI and First Choice holiday experiences. You’ll spend two years rotating between two of our core commercial departments:

Trading – this team ensures our products are available to our customers at the right price, at the right time, in line with demand and competition. You’ll learn about how we sell our flights and hotels at the right price in order to hit our key targets, as well as how we monitor our competitor’s activity.

Aviation Planning – this team ensures we have the right planes in the right place, at the right time. You’ll learn about how we manage and plan our flying programme, and will work within the Aviation Support team loading our flying into our systems, managing seasonal changes, and then communicating these to our suppliers and customers

Product Planning – this team ensures we have the right products on offer to give our customers the widest variety of holidays to choose from. You’ll learn about how we select which new holiday concepts and hotels to offer our customers, as well as how we price them and present them to our customers, from the content on our websites, to brochures in our retail stores

Whichever teams you join, you’ll have a fantastic opportunity to gain a full insight into our Commercial function and how our business works on a day-to-day basis. You’ll support a portfolio of destinations, making important commercial decisions which will help drive forward the strategy and profitability of TUI UK.

You will also be working towards a Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship. If you’d like to know more about the content covered as part of the apprenticeship, you can do so by clicking here where you’ll be directed to an external site for more information.
