For most companies, travel is the second largest controllable expense. And in order to control the expense, you must know how to manage travel spend.
OBTA supports the pursuit of professional certification through the National Business Travel Association, their programs, and their educational offerings. Annual scholarships are awarded to local high school seniors to pursue higher education in the hospitality or travel management field, and to association members to enable them to attend the annual national conference.
NBTA and IBTM, also offer educational scholarships to a variety of programs like:
CTE/Fundamentals of Business Travel Management
The Fundamentals of Business Travel Management is this two-day workshop designed as a guide to the primary components of managed travel. You will learn how each component intersects with the required competencies and skill sets needed in business travel management. The Fundamentals course teaches you to maximize cost containment, improve efficiency and create a managed travel culture in a company. You learn subjects like travel safety and security, travel spending trends and benchmark metrics. An overview of business travel technology will be included along with a comprehensive discussion on travel policy, savings opportunities and calculating the ROI of a managed travel program. |
CCTE/Certified Corporate Travel Executive
