Thinking of taking a gap year? Why not take it at ITC?

Thinking of taking a gap year in 2021? Why not take it at ITC?

The year 2020 was strange, difficult, and confusing. It’s no wonder than many young adults are feeling burnt out and unsure of what to do next.

In fact, we’ve heard that many students leaving school are thinking of taking a gap year while they figure out what to do. A gap year, but definition, is simply something that you do in between life stages.

ITC moves to a four-day study week in 2021

In 2021, ITC will be moving to a four-day study week for better study-life balance and well-being for our students.

In 2021, ITC will be moving to a four-day study week. This means students will only need to be on campus for classes from Monday to Thursday.

We’ve made this decision based on a number of factors, and we believe all of them mean less stress, more health, and a better balance for our students. (more…)

How the ITC whanau has supported students through 2020

ITC supported students throughout 2020, ensuring the pandemic didn’t put their studies on hold.

The year 2020 has been a tough one for everyone. Every New Zealander has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic in some way, and even though Aotearoa has pulled through exceedingly well compared with most countries, it doesn’t negate the fact that thousands of Kiwis have struggled this year.

When New Zealand announced it would be heading into Alert Level 4 lockdown, ITC immediately jumped into action. Our biggest goal was to support our students, and ensure they could continue their studies. (more…)
