The SITE Young Leaders' Program is a global community of industry

experience in the incentive travel industry. By participating in the
SITE Young Leaders' Program, individuals receive education,
certification and networking opportunities that appeal to and benefit
those who are new to the industry.
This new collaboration promises a plethora of benefits, including
enhanced training and educational opportunities, mentorship programmes,
and networking events. SITE Australia and New Zealand and Destination
Gold Coast will closely to ensure that the industry continues to
flourish, offering exciting prospects for current and aspiring
professionals.
In order to retain talent where unprecedented challenges include
staff attraction and retention, this partnership represents an
opportunity to confront ongoing transformations and disruptions and
invest in the development of a skilled and passionate workforce.
The partnership aims to create a sustainable talent ecosystem that
will empower individuals to embark on a rewarding journey within the
incentive travel sector.
The partnership was launched at Incentivise Live, SITE Australia and
New Zealand's recent conference. Nicole Tingey, president of SITE
Australia and New Zealand, said, "In a time when human resources are
stretched, particularly within the incentive travel industry,
Destination Gold Coast is using this unique opportunity to demonstrate
its forward-thinking approach and commitment to building a pipeline of
talent for the future. And to increase the appeal of the Incentive
travel Industry not only as an employment opportunity but as a career
choice."
Destination Gold Coast’s head of Business Events Brooke Campbell
stated: "We are thrilled to embark on this transformative journey with
SITE Australia and New Zealand. Our partnership signifies a shared
vision to foster excellence in the incentive travel industry. Together,
we will inspire, educate, and nurture talent, ultimately shaping a
brighter future for our industry."
