ITI NEWSLETTER
ITI Newsletter - June 2009Welcome to the June 2009 edition of the Independent Tertiary Institutions (ITI) newsletter. ITI is a peak body representing a range of larger, established, high-quality private training establishments. Each month this newsletter takes a look at topical issues and highlights some of the successes of learners at member institutions.
This month we look at New Zealand Management Academies drive to boost international student numbers and students from the International Travel College make an impact at the TRENZ tradeshow.

In a new feature, we list some of the upcoming public events at ITI members and reproduce Chair Tim Cullinane's commentary on the 2009 Budget.
