New Tourism degrees include relationship with Youth Ambassadors program
Published on 22 August, 2011
CQUniversity's new tourism programs include a relationship with the Australian Youth Ambassadors for Development (AYAD) Program, enabling students and graduates to consider international sustainable tourism volunteer projects in Asia, the Pacific, Africa and the Caribbean.
As part of the Australian Volunteers for lnternational Development program, an Australian Government, AusAlD initiative, the AYAD program supports developing countries in their efforts to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
'The United Nations Millennium Development Goals' is a topic included in the new tourism degrees to be offered by CQUniversity in 2012.
Dean of Management and Marketing Professor Roger March says CQUniversity has a commitment to active engagement in our regional communities.
"We want to support opportunities for young Australians to volunteer overseas in Asia, the Pacific and Africa," he says.
"This relationship with the Australian Government's AYAD Program will enhance the professional experience of the successful candidates, where experienced CQUniversity faculty play a key role as the Australian Partner Organisation."
