“The greatest highlight for me was realising that this was the career path I felt comfortable in. With all the support I had from the tutors at NZMA I felt confident I had made the right decision.”
“As a single parent with three great boys, I’d been out of the workforce for 20 years. NZMA helped me gain a career. Hospitality is a huge industry, and I enjoyed learning about every aspect. With support from NZMA I’m now working, and I’m really happy.”
“I felt excited because enrolling in the programme gave me some direction. I’ve now made some good friends here and I want to continue learning so I will have more opportunities to find different jobs in the future.”
“NZMA gave me a purpose, and I have a path now, so I know I’m going places.”
