The CCTE program, consisting of 2 Core Weeks of classes and 5 one-day electives, is designed for business travel management professionals who want to enhance their knowledge, skills and productivity. The CCTE program adds to the individual's expertise in developing and managing corporate travel programs. Today's corporate success depends on adapting to the changing global business environment and using corporate travel as a strategic tool. Corporate travel managers must rethink and realign their roles and programs. They need the kind of value-added training that is the cornerstone of the CCTE program.

Carried out in conjunction with The University of Houston Conrad Hilton College of Hotel & Restaurant Management, the CCTE program stresses the use of the latest technologies to improve day-to-day operations. Students are also trained in financial management techniques and control procedures to assure accountability in their travel programs. As a result of their CCTE training, travel managers will develop the skills and expertise to:

• better define and understand future directions and trends in both corporate travel and the business environment
• develop and apply systems thinking and approaches to improve their management techniques
• promote the conduct of business and progress toward their company's economic and strategic goals
• achieve personal excellence and function more productively within their corporate culture
