MCKENZIE RICHARDSONBACHELOR OF APPLIED MANAGEMENT
I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

MCKENZIE RICHARDSONBACHELOR OF APPLIED MANAGEMENT
I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

MCKENZIE RICHARDSONBACHELOR OF APPLIED MANAGEMENT
I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

MCKENZIE RICHARDSONBACHELOR OF APPLIED MANAGEMENT
I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that

I was brought up in a household where my parents were hard working business owners which ignited my passion for business I firstly considered studying commercial law before deciding I wanted to get more people-side of businesses rather than the law aspects hence I have chosen to study Business Management with hopes of majoring in Human Resources I chose WITT to study at not only because they offered scholarships but also because of the class sizes At WITT you are not just a number and the tutors know who you are and genuinely want to see you succeed while still holding a high quality of learning

I came to WITT from my home in Kerala India after talking to friends who recommended it I was attracted by New Zealand in general and New Plymouth in particular as being the best place to live and also by the fact that there are lots of opportunities for engineers in the country I found WITT was a great place to study I donrsquot particularly like big cities and hence would like to continue to stay in New Plymouth Currently I am working as a Project Engineer at Fitzroy Engineering In order to develop my Project Management skills my next step would be to do a Project Management course ndash and probably I may return to WITT to do that
