Meet the Study From Home student inspired by another ITC student!

Savannah (third from the right) and friends on a recent trip to the North Island as part of a tour.

Study From Home student and supermarket employee Savannah Larkin hopes to one day become a flight attendant (and we have no doubt she will achieve that goal!). But her story reminds us of another wonderful student, who was also working full time and dreaming of becoming a flight attendant – and is now doing just that!

In fact, that past student has inspired Savannah to follow in her footsteps (find out who below).

It’s so exciting to not just see our students succeed, but also to inspire others to do the same. So as you read Savannah’s story, think about whether you might be the next!

New opportunities arise for graduates as tourism industry evolves

New technology is creating new pathways and career opportunities for those in the travel and tourism industry.

Like any industry, tourism and travel will evolve with the times. Even Instagram, a simple photo sharing platform, has already had a huge impact on the way people travel by creating Insta-famous locations, and by making lesser-known destinations more well known.

Now that technology continues to evolve, it is having even more of an effect on not just how we travel – but how we can work in the travel and tourism industry.

School ball season is over – now what?

Ball season is finished – so now what?

The school ball is one of the highlights of the year for some students, but for others, it’s the only thing really keeping them at school.

As much as we will always encourage students to complete their studies, we also know that if high school is just not for you, and if you already know you won’t be turning up for the rest of the year, then it might be time to look at other options.
