City & Guilds is using Facebook to encourage young people to find a job in the travel and tourism industry.


The new application allows users to fill out a questionnaire before receiving advice on jobs best suited to them. Travel and tourism jobs are just some of those recommended where relevant.


The app has been launched in line with Skills London 2010 which will highlight to people what careers, training and education opportunities are available to them.


Chris Jones, chief executive and director general for City & Guilds said: ‘14-19 year olds are at the heart of everything we do, and at City & Guilds we want to help them unleash their talent.


“Facebook is a powerful tool for young people so it is the ideal platform for us to show learners the opportunities open to them in the travel and tourism sectors and inspire them to achieve their dreams.”
