The annual International Travel College Industry Expo is a great example of how ITC helps students into the workplace.  Each year students have the opportunity to meet potential future employers from the airline, travel and tourism industries.

Both ITC campuses were transformed into a booth style Expo site and companies representing all sectors of the travel and tourism industry came and shared their knowledge, experience and passion with ITC students.

Presenters this year included Air New Zealand, Tourism Auckland, Rainbows End, Apollo Campervans, Fullers, Nomands, Customs, The Langham Hotel, Stella Group, Base and Menzies Aviation. Industry representatives praised the students’ enthusiasm, presentation and professionalism.

“The students were confident, attentive, outgoing and well groomed.  What a great opportunity to let people know who we are and what we do. Thank you!” said Robyn Deuchar of Menzies Aviation.

“This is a win win situation," says ITC Sales Executive Ceri Jenkins.  "Industry are able to showcase their products to over 200 students and our students have the opportunity to learn more about the fantastic career paths they can take.  Maintaining that vital link between industry and our students is crucial to ensuring our students have the best job opportunities possible.”

Students also got a lot out of the day: “Stella Travel Services were great! It related to what I want to go into as a career.  They have given me great insight and detailed useful information.  The day was much better that I expected!” said ITC student Melissa Gough.
