LABTA makes scholarships available to our members every year.
1. CCTE Scholarship is given to an eligible direct member to help defray some of the program fees. The CCTE Program 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. This year LABTA offered scholarships to all LABTA members who have achieved the CCTE to attend LABTA's Education Day which was approved for CCTE Credit
