Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

A move to New Plymouth to be closer to family prompted South African Tiaan Swart to extend the computer knowledge he gleaned from working in his homeland

ldquoSince I have a technical background but no degree in the field I decided it was a good chance to start afresh in New Zealandrdquo says Tiaan who worked as an Oracle business systems administrator for South African company Media 24 before moving to New Zealand

The 24-year-old who eventually wants to have a career as a web applications

developer sees his study at WITT as the perfect stepping stone to his goal of studying for a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Sompong Khamthungrsquos mother continually harassed her daughter to join her in this beautiful town and learn English

Her mother lives in New Plymouth and now that Sompong is here she can understand why her mother was so insistent And coming here has also been a great way to improve her English

Sompong completed a year of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) in 2013 and that has helped her to embark on a new

course this year in her chosen field Creative Technologies

The Thai national wants to pursue a career in graphic design and she says the English course last year gave her the confidence to take on another field of study and she hopes to take another level for 2015

ldquoIt is a nice place to study and you make lots of friends here and learn about other culturesrdquo said Sompong (20)

But says Ashwin Rane itrsquos a very good culture shock No great pollution no traffic jams no crowds or hustle and bustle ndash just fresh air friendly people and an easy life

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Training at NZIHT has given Midhun the confidence to land his dream role

As a Traffic Coordinator for Fletcher Construction in Christchurch Midhun is in a job that poses a great deal of responsibility for a young engineer He credits the course and WITT support for what he has achieved

ldquoI can honestly say NZIHT training is the main factor which has given me confidence to be able to speak in front of site and project engineers in this role NZIHT was the only place which really focused on roadsrdquo he says

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma and a high demand for transport engineers in New Zealand has helped Midhun obtain permanent residence in New Zealand which has enabled him to set up an exciting new life here he says

In May 2014 Midhun won the SCIRT (Rebuilding Infrastructure) Traffic Management for having lsquoone of the best plans ever seen from any plannerrsquo

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Some people just have a connection with youth ndash and Rob Gimblett is one of them

He has worked with youth on and off throughout his life but has never had a formal qualification Now thatrsquos about to change as he nears the completion of a degree in Applied Social Science at WITT

ldquoThe social work degree opens up a lot of opportunities and especially for me to formally give me a qualification to work with youth Irsquove always been quite a kid myself and this sort of work keeps you

young plus I feel that in the social work field youth can be quite receptive to helprdquo

The degree course has opened up new learning for Rob in terms of discovering more about himself but also about how people think and how diverse society is and peoplersquos different needs

He particularly enjoys the work placements and being exposed to different social work settings in the community

and itrsquos different to what I would learn in Indiardquo

He says the food here in New Zealand is fantastic very fresh and a large array to concoct different dishes His only disappointment is in some Indian restaurants which have modified dishes for New Zealandrsquos less zingier palates

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Training at NZIHT has given Midhun the confidence to land his dream role

As a Traffic Coordinator for Fletcher Construction in Christchurch Midhun is in a job that poses a great deal of responsibility for a young engineer He credits the course and WITT support for what he has achieved

ldquoI can honestly say NZIHT training is the main factor which has given me confidence to be able to speak in front of site and project engineers in this role NZIHT was the only place which really focused on roadsrdquo he says

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma and a high demand for transport engineers in New Zealand has helped Midhun obtain permanent residence in New Zealand which has enabled him to set up an exciting new life here he says

In May 2014 Midhun won the SCIRT (Rebuilding Infrastructure) Traffic Management for having lsquoone of the best plans ever seen from any plannerrsquo

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Deena coSTer reporter hawera star NaTiONaL DiPLOMa iN JOurNaLiSM (MuLTi-MEDia)

Studying journalism in the same building as a real life newsroom was a game changer for Deena Coster

While the 35-year-old could have studied journalism just about anywhere in the country the attraction of learning the profession next to practising journalists in the Taranaki Daily Newsrsquo building was too good to ignore

ldquoThe relationship the WITT course has with the newsroom is what appealed to me the most Itrsquos a great learning groundrdquo

Due to that close working relationship

between the newspaper and the WITT journalism school students regularly have their work published in the Taranaki Daily News During her time on the course Deena was a prolific story writer for the paper In fact her award-winning stories (she won the Bruce Jesson Foundation Emerging Journalist Award 2013) saw her secure a permanent job as a reporter on the paper following the course

Deena has a post-graduate degree in social work spending a decade working at Child Youth and Family before seeking a career change The media and journalism have always appealed to Deena

Janelle Rooyakkers had an awesome childhood and has lovely memories

So she wants to create that for other kids and the 20 year old is now well on her way to doing that as she studies towards a degree in early childhood

She completed the Certificate in early childhood education last year at WITT

ldquoThe certificate course was great because it gave me some initial learning in the field so I felt I knew a little bit before I started the degree course this year As well as that it was incredibly helpful with the essay writing that I have to do this yearrdquo

Social work

Some people just have a connection with youth ndash and Rob Gimblett is one of them

He has worked with youth on and off throughout his life but has never had a formal qualification Now thatrsquos about to change as he nears the completion of a degree in Applied Social Science at WITT

ldquoThe social work degree opens up a lot of opportunities and especially for me to formally give me a qualification to work with youth Irsquove always been quite a kid myself and this sort of work keeps you

young plus I feel that in the social work field youth can be quite receptive to helprdquo

The degree course has opened up new learning for Rob in terms of discovering more about himself but also about how people think and how diverse society is and peoplersquos different needs

He particularly enjoys the work placements and being exposed to different social work settings in the community

Training at NZIHT has given Midhun the confidence to land his dream role

As a Traffic Coordinator for Fletcher Construction in Christchurch Midhun is in a job that poses a great deal of responsibility for a young engineer He credits the course and WITT support for what he has achieved

ldquoI can honestly say NZIHT training is the main factor which has given me confidence to be able to speak in front of site and project engineers in this role NZIHT was the only place which really focused on roadsrdquo he says

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma and a high demand for transport engineers in New Zealand has helped Midhun obtain permanent residence in New Zealand which has enabled him to set up an exciting new life here he says

In May 2014 Midhun won the SCIRT (Rebuilding Infrastructure) Traffic Management for having lsquoone of the best plans ever seen from any plannerrsquo

Training at NZIHT has given Midhun the confidence to land his dream role

As a Traffic Coordinator for Fletcher Construction in Christchurch Midhun is in a job that poses a great deal of responsibility for a young engineer He credits the course and WITT support for what he has achieved

ldquoI can honestly say NZIHT training is the main factor which has given me confidence to be able to speak in front of site and project engineers in this role NZIHT was the only place which really focused on roadsrdquo he says

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma and a high demand for transport engineers in New Zealand has helped Midhun obtain permanent residence in New Zealand which has enabled him to set up an exciting new life here he says

In May 2014 Midhun won the SCIRT (Rebuilding Infrastructure) Traffic Management for having lsquoone of the best plans ever seen from any plannerrsquo

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

Training at NZIHT has given Midhun the confidence to land his dream role

As a Traffic Coordinator for Fletcher Construction in Christchurch Midhun is in a job that poses a great deal of responsibility for a young engineer He credits the course and WITT support for what he has achieved

ldquoI can honestly say NZIHT training is the main factor which has given me confidence to be able to speak in front of site and project engineers in this role NZIHT was the only place which really focused on roadsrdquo he says

The former mechanical engineer chose to

come to New Zealand from Kerala India as he was looking for a change of career and heard there were a lot of opportunities for civil engineers in New Zealand

The Graduate Diploma and a high demand for transport engineers in New Zealand has helped Midhun obtain permanent residence in New Zealand which has enabled him to set up an exciting new life here he says

In May 2014 Midhun won the SCIRT (Rebuilding Infrastructure) Traffic Management for having lsquoone of the best plans ever seen from any plannerrsquo
