YoungTEC Masterclass 2026

We’re bringing our Masterclass series into 2026 with a fresh twist: a virtual line-up of industry experts from across the tourism export world, now spread across the off-season and perfectly timed for those post-mahi wind-down hours.

We’ve got an epic speaker line-up coming your way, packed with insights, practical tips, and tools you can actually use. Think of it as adding a few new tricks to your career kete.

Sign up here to be part of the 2026 Masterclass.

YoungTEC Mentorship Programme 2026

Our mentors have provided guidance, motivation, emotional support to hundreds of YoungTEC members – with many still in contact to this day.

For 2026, we’ve created a more flexible structure that supports career development at every stage. The programme runs over several months, allowing mentors and mentees to build meaningful connections while fitting conversations around busy schedules.

Whether you’re looking to grow your leadership skills, explore new career pathways, or share your experience with the next generation of tourism professionals, we’d love to have you involved.

Applications are now open, with the first round of mentorship matches launching in the first week of July.

Sign up here to take part as a Mentee for 2026.

If you’re keen to be involved as a Mentor for 2026, sign up here.

Key requirements:

• Commitment to attend a minimum of 3 mentorship sessions, with flexibility to meet more often if desired.

“I love the Mentee program for TEC – it gives me such a kick dealing with positive, smart industry professionals. And I am often surprised at how it’s the simple stuff that helps the most.  We’ve got so good at complicating (and creating stress) our lives that distilling things down seems to be helping so many people.

I’m super excited to see who this year’s Mentee is, although I am still in touch with my other mentees! “ – Georgina Torrington, Brooke Serene.
