“While doing NCEA Level 3 at high school, I didn’t feel like any of the subjects inspired me and so I was quite unmotivated and unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. I then decided to complete my Level 3 at the New Zealand School of Tourism as I felt the tutors and the environment really fit my learning style – allowing me to thrive.”

"I am now in a job that I love surrounded by other great employees, and I am about to get a leadership position only four months into my employment."

“There are so many more of the bigger jobs coming here now. It’s great because it opens up a lot more entry level positions and gives newcomers the chance to make contacts in the industry.”
