“I began studying for my certificate in plumbing and gas fitting at MIT instead of doing year 13 at school, and I’m so glad I did. It offered great facilities and our learning was very hands-on, which made it fun.
We also had great support throughout from our tutors, who were mostly ex-tradesmen. Their strong industry connections meant we had a head-start when it came to securing a job after graduating. I got a job before I had even completed my studies.”
Hunter Turner
MIT trades graduate

“I’m a single mum with children still at school and I needed to find an institute to study at that was flexible, that allowed me to still get my children to school, be there for them after school, and the hours weren’t too long or every day of the week. MIT has made it possible for me to study again because I can still do everything and still do life, and I can still learn and get my qualification.”
Emma Ritson
MIT hairdressing student
“I loved that MIT gave me the flexibility to study while still being a full-time mum. I knew it was the right choice after doing a feasibility study of tertiary institutes in Auckland and MIT came out on top.
I’ve always been a people person with a goal of entering a management role, so HR seemed like a great fit. The practical elements of the course made my learning meaningful and through the internship programme I was offered a job.”
