Industry professionals will also be invited to act as career mentors, offering 'informal guidance' and real-world insight across travel, tourism and aviation

The collaboration will see ITT Future You join Mosaic's "Mosaic Works" programme, which supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 15 to 25 as they move from education into employment. Further details of the partnership will be unveiled at next week's ITT conference in Malaga.

The partnership is designed to break down barriers faced by LGBTQ+ young people entering the workplace, while encouraging travel businesses to create more inclusive pathways into the industry through placements, mentorship and employability initiatives.
