Meet the student who learned first-hand about the diverse range of roles in the tourism industry

Ryan Mackenzie began at ITC planning to become a flight attendant, but his journey has led him elsewhere!’
Like many ITC students, Ryan Mackenzie came to ITC with plans to work as a flight attendant. Yet while many of our students do go on to become cabin crew, Ryan’s path eventually led him elsewhere, highlighting just how many different roles and paths are available to those with industry-leading travel and tourism qualifications!
We recently spoke to Ryan about his journey. Read on to learn more. (more…)

ITC graduate Lynelle looking spectacular in her official uniform.
We recently received an email from an ITC graduate with some of our favourite news to hear: “I had my last day of training yesterday and I’ve successfully passed everything. I’ve got my roster already and I start flying next week Thursday.”
That was from Lynelle Fisilau, a graduate who has been working incredibly hard to achieve her dreams of working in cabin crew.
First, we asked Lynelle’s tutor Inder for his thoughts on Lynelle’s journey:
“I know Lynelle will be a great role model for a flight attendant. We did a mock interview and interview techniques with her. She told me most of the questions asked in the interview were similar to the mock interview. I am really proud of Lynelle and I am sure she will be a valuable asset for Emirates.”
Naturally, we couldn’t wait to hear from Lynelle!

ITC graduate Leandi’s journey has been incredible so far. Hear what she’s been up to!
The team at ITC is often as much a family as it is a college, as we stay in touch with our students and cheer on their successes as they gain experience in the industry and travel around the world.
We recently heard from an Auckland City Campus student, Leandri. Leandri was initially upset about not getting her dream job elsewhere, but ITC Employment Consultant Sarndra suggested an internship with International Working Holidays.
“We made some calls and the rest is history!”, explained Sarndra.
Here’s Leandri’s incredible update:

Graduate Fleur has already had an incredibly exciting career – and she’s only just begun!
In early 2023, we chatted with ITC graduate Fleur who had just landed an incredible role with AJ Hackett.
Two years on, we heard about her adventures overseas, and her promotion to a managerial level at AJ Hackett. And since ITC loves to stay in touch with graduates and celebrate their successes, we thought we’d share her wonderful stories and news with new students considering following in her footsteps!

ITC graduate Mauga is loving her role as a LEAD agent for QANTAS at OACIS (Off-Airport Check-In Solutions) at Auckland International Airport.
Mauga is a recent ITC graduate who started her career working at Menzies. However, after a few hurdles, she has found her way into a fantastic new role working at Auckland International Airport.
Her positive attitude and strong work ethic are an inspiration for current and future ITC students, so what better way to share her story than with a quick interview?

Posted on 21/05/2024 by Hayley Clark
Shaz in their happy place – snowy Canada!
We often (ok, endlessly!) talk about how amazing it is to work in the travel and tourism industry. We write blogs and social media posts about all the places you can go and all the people you can meet when you study with ITC before heading out into the world.
And every now and then, we catch up with a past student who is living that unbelievable lifestyle.
Today, that’s Shaz Beardsmore, a graduate that we last caught up with seven years ago as they were doing the Disney Cultural Exchange Program and making big plans for the future.
“There’s just so much to explore, it’s hard to know where my travel list ends!” they said.
So when we recently heard from Shaz, we knew we had to share their updated travels and adventures!

Mya at Disney!
In October last year, we interviewed a student with her sights set on the Disney Cultural Exchange Program. At the time, Mya Jorna was finishing up an ITC course and hoping to be accepted into the program.
The Bream Bay College graduate attended an Adventure Short Course through school at ITC, where she learnt about the amazing opportunity to study tourism in Northland and wanted to one day work for Disney in Orlando Florida. Mya worked hard to graduate with her tourism and travel qualifications and with the support from ITC, applied for her place at Disney in January 2024.
And now, she’s living out that dream!
We couldn’t wait to hear about her adventures and how it’s all going, so here’s a little more about the program and her time at Disney.
