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

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

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)
ldquoThe tutors at WITT are all excellent They are full of knowledge and always prepared They are eager to help and explain anythingrdquo
Just six months into the course Tiaan secured part-time employment as a web developer for a New Plymouth company

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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
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

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

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
