Whangarei students employed directly after work experience

After completing work experience during their studies, several students were offered jobs – including one with AJ Hackett in Queenstown!

At ITC, one of the many ways we prepare students for a career in travel and tourism is with work experience.

Students can learn a lot in a classroom, especially with our tutors who are industry experts themselves. They can also learn a lot with during famils, where they get to experience travel and tourism first-hand.

But actually trying out a job and seeing what it’s really like is unique, which is why we work closely with students to organise work experience before they graduate and start applying for jobs.

And recently, we’ve found that their work experience is leading directly into employment!
