Aboriginal Tourism Management [Native Education College, NEC]

The ATO Certificate Program offers students the skills and knowledge to seek employment in the tourism industry. Graduates of the ATO program are trained for positions in cultural tourism, ecotourism and many other entry-level positions in the tourism industry. Each semester includes field experience projects and placements that will develop hands-on skills and promote networking within the tourism industry. After a student has completed the ATO certificate program, the student can continue on another year to complete the ATM program. Graduates of the ATM program are trained for planning, marketing and managing a successful tourism business. When the student completes the ATO program, they are encouraged to work in the tourism field during the summer before returning to the ATM program.
