PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS WHO WENT ON TO WORK @ TUI

DARLINGTON

"The Hackathon was my first contact with TUI. The culture of working was expressed by the members of staff in how they appeared and when I conversed with them. It was also where I was noticed by the TUI team present. It was a doorway to starting my career at TUI."

ROBERT

"The TUI hackathons at Beds gave me a great insight into TUI's culture and people. And it gave them a great insight into me, so that when I applied to the grad scheme, they already knew I was keen, motivated, and capable."
