Tourism Traineeships Explained
Running a caravan park or holiday resort isn’t for the faint of heart. Between seasonal staff turnover, rising guest expectations, and the daily grind of operations, keeping your team skilled and your guests happy can feel like a juggling act.
So, who’s helping you?
If you’re constantly training on the fly, covering shifts yourself, or watching good staff walk out the door – you’re not alone. And you don’t need to go it alone either. Tourism traineeships are helping parks across NSW bring in new staff and support them through flexible, nationally recognised training. No off-site travel required.
Here’s what you need to know.
What Are Tourism Traineeships?
A traineeship is a structured training program for new employees gain nationally recognised qualifications while continuing to work in their current role.
Unlike classroom-based learning, traineeships are flexible, and tailored to their work environments. Designed to fit around your business, not interrupt it.
At PRO Management, we offer:
- SIT30122 Certificate III in Tourism
- SIT40122 Certificate IV in Travel and Tourism (Holiday Parks and Resorts)
Both programs are designed for the tourism and hospitality sector, especially for regional caravan parks, resorts, and accommodation providers who need capable teams ready to handle bookings, customer service, and daily operations.
- Earn while you learn
- Train on the job
- Nationally recognised outcomes
Why Tourism Traineeships Work for Caravan & Holiday Parks
Here’s what makes traineeships the smart choice for busy park operators:
- Flexible Training Delivery: Designed to fit your schedules with no off-site classes required
- Better Staff Retention: Staff feel invested in and valued, so they’re more likely to stick around.
- Improved Service: Trained team members = fewer mistakes, smoother operations, happier guests.
- Government Incentives: Support exists for employers and trainees (subject to eligibility)
- Designed for Small Teams: Practical, flexible training built for park operations
Tourism traineeships aren’t just good for your team. They’re good for your business.
