Congratulations to the first of our Scholarship winners this year!

We’re excited to announce some of our first scholarship winners this year! Pictured here: Students from Kaitaia College with tutor Mel.

In June, we once again opened applications for our fantastic scholarship programme. This programme offers a number of full-time students attending ITC or Study From Home the chance to have up to $5,600 of their course fees completely covered by us.

This is our way of supporting both our hard-working students, and the industry we love that so desperately needs more qualified and passionate staff.

And so far, we’re over the moon to announce we have already awarded SEVEN scholarships to students. We had many excellent applications, but here are a few words from each of our winners so far about why they want to study with us and what their ultimate goals are.

Want to be a flight attendant?

Thinking of becoming a flight attendant? ITC courses could help make your dream come true!

Being a flight attendant means travelling all the time, meeting new people, exploring new places, and being part of people’s incredible journeys and holidays. It’s no wonder so many people dream of becoming flight attendants here in New Zealand and around the world!

ITC announces new August and November course start dates

To help with demand for staff, ITC is launching two new start dates for our level 3 courses this year.

Here at ITC, we’ve spent the entire past year talking about how the travel and tourism industry will desperately need qualified workers as soon as the borders reopen.

Now that we’re seeing those staff shortages really kicking in, we want to do everything we can to help the industry. We know the industry needs us, as a provider of valuable travel and tourism qualifications, to help prepare the next generation of workers.

Due to the demand of people wanting to study tourism and the fact we want to help our industry, ITC has decided to add two new start dates for our Auckland City and Botany Campuses.

Meet the graduate who has worked her way up and is now looking to hire our recent graduates!

Meet Zoe, the ITC graduate who has worked her way up in an Auckland hotel, and is now looking to hire recent graduates!

Zoe Daugulis graduated from ITC in 2015, and started working in a hotel in Auckland’s CBD soon after.

She recently reached out to ITC to let us know that not only is her hotel now looking for new graduates to hire for various positions, but she’s the one doing the hiring! She has worked her way up through the hotel and had an incredible story to share, so of course we had to learn more.

A massive ‘welcome back!’ to international students at ITC

ITC is excited to welcome international students once again.

When New Zealand’s borders shut to the world, as well as saying goodbye to international tourism, we also said goodbye to our international students.

ITC has long welcomed international students to our classes, and we have greatly missed their presence, culture, and languages in our classes.

That’s why we’re so excited to say ‘welcome back!’ to international students this year. The Ministry of Education has granted a number of exemptions to allow students into New Zealand to study, but from July 31, any international students will be able to apply for a student visa and come over to earn their qualifications.
