TUI UK and Ireland is developing its apprenticeship schemes to deliver more than 2,000 new apprentices by 2020.
It is introducing new schemes to become an aircraft engineer, a digital expert and IT specialist and also plans to develop an all-new apprenticeship standard to become a pilot, which it claims is an industry first.
The moves comes the UK government prepares to introduce a new Apprenticeship Levy in April 2017.
"In a period of uncertainty, before Government provides more clarity around apprenticeship policy reforms and the levy, it shows real commitment that TUI is pressing ahead with its apprenticeship plans because it’s the ‘right thing to do’," said Kirstie Donnelly, managing director City & Guilds.
“TUI UK and Ireland demonstrates just how engaged an employer can be in apprenticeships and skills development. It recognises them as a natural mechanism to develop the talent it needs to remain as an industry leader, as well as investing for the future."
Apprenticeships are being offered across its Luton head office as well as its 600-strong retail estate across the UK.
Since 2000, more than 5,500 apprenticeships have been offered by Thomson and First Choice.
