• Women in Travel CIC, a social enterprise founded by travel industry professional Alessandra Alonso, has launched ‘Women Returners’ a drive to help unemployed women into travel & tourism jobs.
 
Working with homelessness charity Crisis, Women in Travel will support and train women who have been out of work. Partners include MTR Crossrail, Diamondair and hospitality partners Georgian House Hotel, UnderTheDoormat and digital marketers Digital Dialog. 
 
Those enrolled on the ‘Women Returners’ will be given a one-week training course where employers can meet and interview the women with the view to providing either full-time jobs or a short-term, paid internship at the end of the programme. The first ‘Women Returners’ programme begins on 29 January and will offer women roles with industry partners. 

Companies who wish to join are asked to pay a membership fee towards the set up and training of women. In exchange companies enjoy benefits including being able to display the Women Returners Logo and getting free mentoring training for employees.
 
Recruitment fees will eventually be paid when the women are fully employed.
