On Wednesday 19 June, Will Kaafi, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Groups Team Leader, graduated from the 54th intake of the TIME program. Mentored by Simon Bernadi, Managing Partner Australia and Beyond Holidays, Will becomes the 3rd member of NCL’s APAC team to complete the program.
As part of NCL’s longstanding Partners First philosophy the company is an invested supporter of TIME, so far sponsoring six travel industry scholarships across Australia and New Zealand – all mentees have now successfully graduated and benefited from the program.
In addition, several of NCL’s Leadership Team are available as mentors including Angela Middleton, Director of Field Sales and Ben Angell, VP & MD APAC, further demonstrating NCL’s commitment to investing in the trade community.
Will spoke of his involvement as a mentee “TIME is the best thing I have done professionally. My Mentor, Simon Bernadi challenged me and opened my eyes to new opportunities and ways of approaching my career. Thank you NCL for your continued support in both my personal growth and professional career path to TIME for running such an incredible program!”
Angela Middleton, NCL’s Director of Field Sales said, “As both a mentee, mentor and huge believer in the benefits of TIME, I am thrilled to see Will successfully complete the program. TIME goes from strength to strength and is such a valuable opportunity to connect with and learn from others in the industry. If you haven’t yet completed the program I would highly recommend it.”
