Spotlight: Ticket Agent
(Passport on a pile of coins)
Millions of Americans travel by plane, car, bus, train, and ship every year. They rely on Reservation Agents, Ticket Agents, and Travel Clerks to sell tickets, confirm reservations, provide travel information, check baggage, and other varied functions.
Reservation Agents work for large hotel chains or airlines. They help people make reservations, plan trips, find out fares and and rates. They usually work large reservation centers, answering questions and providing information over the phone or e-mail. Ticket Agents work in train stations, air ports, and bus stations selling tickets, checking in baggage, directing passengers to their boarding area, and provide assistance to the young and elderly. Travel Clerks usually work for membership organizations, like automobile clubs. They plan trips, offer travel suggestions, calculate mileage, and make reservations for club members.
Our faculty in the Airline Travel Careers department have been, or are currently employed in the airline travel industry/aviation careers and have a wide variety of travel/aviation and business experience to share with the students. A college advisory board consisting of travel and airline professionals meets regularly to assure that the program is current with industry standards.
Our Airline Travel Careers program prepares students for a career as a Ticket Agent as well as other careers in the airline and travel industry. There are three Airline Travel Careers certificates: Flight, Travel, and Ground. See our program's page for details.
