NORWEGIAN Cruise Line (NCL) has announced House of Travel’s Paula Watson as its latest ‘Partners First’ scholarship recipient.
Watson has won a grant for the Travel Industry Mentor Experience (TIME).
The product manager will enjoy a six-month mentoring experience to help achieve her individual career goals and objectives.
Watson said a recent induction evening to learn more about the TIME program had her thrilled about joining.
“I am so excited to have this opportunity from NCL to be in the TIME mentor experience program,” she said.
“I cannot wait to start my journey and lean on my seasoned industry mentor for their wisdom and experience to help me achieve my goals.
“I would like to thank NCL for this fantastic opportunity to advance my career.”
Norwegian said its partnership with TIME demonstrates its commitment to its ‘Partners First’ Promise by giving back to the travel community and accelerating the careers of the industry’s future leaders.
TIME’s professionally matched six-month mentor-mentee career development program invites each mentee to identify their career objectives before undertaking fortnightly one-on-one meetings with their mentor.
In return, mentors provide guidance, advice and constructive feedback to help build the mentee’s skills, knowledge and self-confidence.
Mentees learn leadership competencies and new ways of thinking while gaining invaluable professional experience and a deeper understanding of the importance of culture, vision and values to their careers.
