At Tourplan Africa, we’re passionate about nurturing the next generation of travel and technology professionals. Our 9-month Learnership Program is designed to give recent graduates a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience within one of the world’s leading software providers for tour operators and DMCs.
Based at our Boksburg office in South Africa, the program combines structured learning with real-world exposure to the global tourism technology industry. Learners are mentored by experienced Tourplan professionals, gaining insights into areas such as customer support, system operations, and travel technology solutions that power thousands of tourism businesses worldwide.
The goal is simple: to bridge the gap between education and employment by developing practical skills, confidence, and professional readiness. Many participants have gone on to build successful careers in the tourism and technology sectors — a testament to the program’s impact.
By investing in emerging talent, Tourplan Africa reaffirms its commitment to supporting industry growth, job creation, and skills development across the continent.
To spotlight our programme, we decided to create a series of short videos less than 2 minutes for social media, featuring our 2024 & 2025 learners, talking about their Tourplan journey.
