The incredible opportunities of our Schools Team Experiences

Tourism Experiences introduce high schoolers to the incredible world of travel and tourism.

Back in 2024, ITC launched a new service for high schools – Experiences.

These Tourism Experiences offer high schools the ability to offer their year 12 and 13 students a chance to enjoy travel and tourism experiences from an industry-recognised provider. These courses invite students to study for a day per week for seven weeks during term time, where they will get hands-on training, with practical skills and knowledge, all from the tourism industry professionals at ITC.

What are some of the travel and tourism jobs you could do with a qualification from ITC?

ITC graduate Lynelle is working in cabin crew – just one of the amazing jobs available in travel and tourism!

Travel and tourism is one of the biggest industries in New Zealand, and the world. And there are so many more roles you could take than most people even realise.

Part of our job at ITC isn’t just to give you an industry-recognised qualification, but also to show our students the huge variety of jobs out there. This is often how our students learn about the different possibilities – and how they discover exactly what it is they want to do with their careers.

Without further ado, here are 9 of the best travel and tourism jobs you could try!

Planting The Seed: How a job interview turned into a new favourite class activity

Recently I met Ruth, who was interviewing for a tutoring position. During this process we ask for a demonstration to show their presentation skills. Ruth bought some soil, seed and water. This immediately sparked my interests as I love indoor plants.

Ruth demonstrated the process of planting a seed and talked about its growth stages and how this represented the growth of your life, study and your career.  This got the cogs turning in my brain and I wondered “how could I use this as an activity for the classroom”, especially for a new class.

Back at school, but not sure it’s the best place for you?

Not sure if high school is the best place for you this year? There are other options!

It’s that time of year again when high school seniors go back to class. Some of them are excited to be back with friends and looking forward to their final year of study. Some others will be sitting in the same classes feeling like it’s simply not the place for them.

If that sounds like you, keep in mind that you are now a young adult, and can carefully consider this decision for yourself.

Why we don’t call our courses Flight Attending courses

iTC graduate Lynelle has been employed with Emirates and is currently training in Dubai.

One of the most surprising things we tell our students is that the airlines don’t want graduates who have been taught how to be flight attendants.

In fact, it might even put them off hiring someone who says they have studied to be a flight attendant and are ready to step into the role.

Surprised? There’s a good reason why!

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:
