NZ Fashion Tech in Rarotanga

An invitation from the Rarotanga Ministry of Education

NZ Fashion Tech in Rarotanga

NZ Fashion Tech directors Kevin Smith and Val Marshall-Smith received an invitation from the Rarotanga Ministry of Education to participate in the 'Careers Expo 2011' to be held in the week of 18-22 July.

Kevin and Val presented workshops for Careers Advisors from remote Penrhyn Atoll (over 1300kms north of Rarotanga - almost on the equator) and the majority of the 14 other islands which make up the Cook Islands on Monday and presented to students and Technical teachers from schools around Rarotanga over the next two days.

On the Thursday, just as well that Jenny Mullins, our recruitment leader flew in as there were over 600 students plus career advisors, teachers and parents and even some local fashion industry visiting NZ Fashion Tech at the Expo 2011.

There were so many positive contacts made and many students made it quite clear they have no plans to let their more remote home deter them from a career in fashion. NZ Fashion Tech looks forward to enrolling the first of those students in 2012 and guiding them towards their dream career."
