Crown Institute scholarship winner lands fantastic job with GO Holidays
Crown Institute and ex
Glenfield College student Samantha Morris has just completed
her scholarship with New Caledonia tourism and has landed
herself with a fantastic job at wholesaler GO Holidays as
one of their Asia consultants.
Samantha completed
the Crown Certficate in International, Travel, Tourism and
Airline Studies course in August. From this course she
has gained both New Zealand and International qualifications
in Travel and Tourism.
Samantha always had a
desire to pursue a career in the airline or retail travel
sector. It was a former flatmate of Samantha who mentioned
her positive experience at Crown Institute; the same person
had gone on to pursue a successful career in the airline
industry. That was reason enough for Samantha to visit
Crown.
“After visiting the school and being
shown around, there was no doubt that this was where I
wanted to pursue my studies as I had a very positive feeling
from the tutors and staff” said Samantha.
Samantha was one of many Crown travel and tourism
students who applied for the scholarship with New Caledonia
Tourism. Out of the several students interviewed, New
Caledonia Tourism was impressed with Samantha’s
enthusiasm.
With a view to offering an
opportunity to a growing travel professional whilst bringing
destination New Caledonia to the foreground of the learning
environment, General Manager of New Caledonia Tourism in
New Zealand Mr Simon Duffy, founded the scholarship program
in 2006 in conjunction with Crown Institute.
“I
chose Crown as I felt it was the most professionally run
school I had visited; I was also impressed at their
graduates’ rate of success finding employment
post-study,” says Mr Duffy.
Part of the
scholarship package was work experience at the New Caledonia
Tourism office and $1000 towards her course costs at the
completion of her studies.
Samantha’s years of
customer service experience, the scholarship from New
Caledonia Tourism partnered up with the qualification from
Crown all helped Samantha in getting her dream job.
For almost forty years Crown has been of New
Zealand’s leading schools. Locally owned and proudly
independent, Crowns style is professional and friendly.
Excellent programmes in English Language, Travel and
Tourism, Hospitality and Business are on offer at Crown.
Crown is recognised as a quality leader by New
Zealand and international employers.
