Celebrating Success Stories: A Heartwarming Reunion

Some moments are not just special; they're truly heartwarming and encapsulate the essence of why we do what we do. The Employability Team had the pleasure of welcoming a very special group to our campus — the proud parents and our graduate, Vineet Shinde.

Several years ago, Vineet arrived at our campus from India, eager and ambitious to pursue a career in hospitality. Fast forward to the present, and he's now working as the assistant Food and Beverage Manager with Rydges Rotorua. His journey from our GDHM programme to this rewarding role is a testament to his hard work, determination, and the knowledge he acquired here.

As we toured the campus, Vineet joyfully shared his memories and how the campus has evolved. It was an emotional moment witnessing the pride in his parents' eyes as they marvelled at their son's accomplishments in a new country.

In these moments, we're reminded of the profound impact education can have in forging new paths, creating opportunities, and fostering dreams. It's an honour to be part of Vineet's transformative journey, supporting individuals as they build new lives and contribute to their chosen fields.
