The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) has announced the expansion of its 2024 Mentorship Program, doubling its size from the previous year. Now welcoming 21 pairs of mentors and mentees, the program aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and professional growth within the travel industry.
Launched in 2023 with 10 pairs, the six-month program offers exclusive benefits to ASTA members, providing opportunities for career guidance, skill development and networking. Participants engage in regular virtual or in-person meetings with seasoned travel professionals, focusing on areas such as leadership, communication and self-confidence.
This program truly helped me see I could leave a job that made me unhappy and instead pursue one that I love.
“I cannot say thank you enough to ASTA for setting up this program,” said Alysha Klein of Alysha Klein & Associates Dream Vacations. “I was hesitant to apply since I was working another full-time job, but I took a leap, and I am beyond grateful that I was partnered with Jenn Lee ... She is an incredible mentor and shared so much insight with me, and I feel more confident in my business. Thank you ASTA for realizing that this was something advisors needed. This program truly helped me see I could leave a job that made me unhappy and instead pursue one that I love.”
Running until Sept. 30, the program aims to equip participants with the tools necessary to advance their careers and businesses.
