Sarndra’s Success Stories: Students and Superstars!

Sarndra and ITC graduates, who are currently working for Sudima, and recently presented at the ITC Industry Expo.

Back in 2017, ITC welcomed the lovely Sarndra Stephens to the team as an Employment Consultant. Her job was to connect current students and graduates with job opportunities across New Zealand (and sometimes internationally as well!).

She would keep an eye out for exciting roles, share those jobs with students, keep in touch with past graduates to find out who was looking for a new job, and even help with CV and interview tips.

In short, she has worked her magic on thousands of students and graduates over the past years, and there are many, MANY people working in jobs today simply because she made those connections.

So today, we’re taking a look back at just a small sample of those student success stories.

Going on an overseas exchange is something that many ITC students aspire to. Our connections with international groups, knowledge of the industry, and assistance in helping students apply for and land these amazing positions, all mean that we often see our graduates successfully apply for these roles.

In fact, we currently have five students from our Whangarei campus set to head off overseas to gain incredible experience and knowledge. They are Portia Suckling, Stella Panui-Park, Kayleigh Johns, Jack Potter, and Trinity Rule.

We chatted to them to ask about their time at ITC and their hopes for their upcoming trips.

At ITC, we have a dedicated Employment Consultant who works with current and past graduates to help them find roles in the industry. Thanks to her position, Sarndra often hears incredible stories from students.

But even when she hears these success stories often, there’s the occasional one that still makes her say, “WOW!”.

Recently, that was thanks to past student Telesia Saofai. Of course, we had to ask Employment Consultant Sarndra for more details – here’s what she had to say.
