ITC and Study From Home are special education providers for many reasons.
One of those reasons is because we care about our students so much that we stay in touch long after they graduate.
Sometimes we hear from graduates who blow us away with their success.
One example is Annie Shields, who’s working two part-time jobs for Weta Workshop as a tour guide and for AJ Hackett at the Bridge Bungy.
We had to get in touch and learn more about her amazing journey so far.
- Why did you choose ITC Study From Home?
I chose ITC study from home because I was moving from Hamilton to Auckland as well as working part-time so I needed a lot of flexibility at that time. I went to Go With Tourism and learned about the opportunities people got through ITC and decided it was the perfect choice for me.
- Where do you currently work and what does your job entail?
I currently work casually at Weta Workshop Unleashed in Auckland as a tour guide and I work part-time at AJ Hackett Bridge Bungy Jump.
- What are the highlights about your role?
I love speaking to people from other places and getting to talk about our amazing country and contribute to their trip.
- Has any of the study content been valuable in your current role?
Study content I learnt at ITC has really helped me, it built my knowledge as well as my confidence. Destination New Zealand and communications was especially helpful.
- What does your current study/work routine look like?
I work at AJ Hackett three days a week and two other days at Weta but I would be there every day if I could.
- Do you have any words of wisdom for others out there wondering if they should Study From Home?
It’s an excellent choice if you need flexibility, I was pleasantly surprised by how much support was offered the whole time.
- What are your career aspirations or what are you excited about using these qualifications for in future?
I have applied for the Disney internship program so excited for that. My dream has always been to be a tour guide and I feel very on track for that thanks to ITC Study From Home.
