ITC Awards Scholarships

Two students have been successful in gaining an ITC Scholarship for study in 2009. The Scholarships are a huge financial head start for these recipients, ensuring that students can study in an exciting industry at a lower cost. Students applied from all over the Auckland region. The students who are successful in receiving the scholarship were Alexandra FANENE from Avondale College (pictured left) and Rosenna TEUTAU from Marcellin College (on the right hand side) pictured with Ceri Jenkins, ITC Sales Executive.

Students that had studied travel and tourism or geography in year 12 or year 13 were eligible to apply. Students were asked to submit an essay outlining why they would like to work in the travel and tourism industry, and were then interviewed at ITC House, in Auckland.

‘The high level of the applicants never ceases to amaze me!’ said Michelle Chatfield Campus Manager ITC City campus. ‘Each year the Scholarship students continue to be role models for others in the College’. Our industry needs young trained people with a passion for customer service and a can do attitude. Our 2009 recipients definitely have these qualities! We are confident that we have chosen well and that these students will make themselves, their schools and ITC proud!’

These successful students have a bright career ahead of them, in a country where travel and tourism continues to be full of job opportunities!
