Talent Acquisition/HR Placement

Talent Acquisition/HR Placement

Talent Acquisition sits within the People Team (what we call HR) and is responsible for attracting talented people to our organization. A major focus for our team is facilitating our global intern and graduate programs, which includes influencing key stakeholders across the business, coordinating with future candidates, and working with many different business areas to deliver a world-class experience.

What’s Travelport?

Travelport is a place of opportunity. It’s our incredible team that makes our company great – our people drive our winning culture.

Travelport is the brains behind lots of your travel bookings. Plane, car or hotel. You name it, we do it. Our technology is used to book that magical family holiday, amazing birthday getaway or spontaneous weekend getaway. While we can't solve mosquito bites or lost luggage, we can simplify a lot of the technical parts of travel, and we're looking for the best thinkers to help us do it.

Annually, we run a 13-month (July – July) internship program comprised of four pillars:

• The Job - You’ll get to dive into the world of talent acquisition and play a key role in intern programs globally. Also, you will have the opportunity to shadow various departments, allowing you to gain valuable insights and determine the career you may want to pursue in the future.
• Corporate Social Responsibility - You’ll have the opportunity to give back to the community by fundraising and volunteering for both local and global charities alongside your fellow interns.
• Learning and Development - You’ll receive training sessions designed to support your personal and professional development while also equipping you with industry-specific skills.
• ‘Internpreneurship’ - You’ll have the opportunity to develop solutions to real business problems which Travelport has and present your ideas to the Senior leadership team and/or external companies.

Our internships are for students seeking a placement year for their third year of their undergraduate degree.

We offer ambitious students like you the opportunity to participate in an immersive and rewarding internship like no other. Because at Travelport, you’ll get the chance to apply your skills and offer solutions to projects that truly matter!
