Course taps into tourist market
Job seekers in the Peak District are being encouraged to tap into the tourism industry.

The University of Derby is to run a four day introductory course in October to show people the areas of work on offer.

Each year visitors to the Peak District National Park spend over £137m.

The course aims to encourage jobseekers to start careers in tourism and show them that does not only mean working in travel agents or hotels.

There will also be information on self employment and flexible working including turning your hobby into a business.
