I always loved the idea of being a midwife but never thought it was achievable because I didn’t like school and left when I was 15. I worked in hospitality for a few years but found myself drawn back to my dream of becoming a midwife. I didn’t have my NCEA Level 2 to get in, so I completed the Te Ara Pūtake course. It’s a foundation course at Wintec that helps you get what you need to step into the course you want to do if you don’t meet the entry criteria. I did this over the summer and then went straight into the Bachelor of Midwifery degree. Looking forward, I am excited about working with wāhine and whānau to help empower them through their childbearing journey. Seraya, Te Are Pūtake My Academic Pathway/Bachelor of Midwifery

I come from the Chatham Islands. There is no high school there which means kids are sent to the mainland to complete their schooling. So I moved to Hamilton with my three children, so that I could be with them while they finish school. I’ve been a full-time mum for nearly twenty years. Studying again is a big change, but I love being back in the classroom. Where I come from, there are no beauty services for women – I am determined to change that. Long term, my dream is to set up a home-based salon back in the Chathams to provide beauty services to the locals. Raiha, Certificate in Beauty Services

Education is very important for me and my family, I always knew that I wanted to push myself to exceed my knowledge as much as possible. After leaving high school, I attended university to study a different degree, but I realised that it wasn’t my passion, so I decided to get into engineering instead. Engineering is about real-life application, not just theory - I knew Wintec offered that style of learning, so I felt that it was the perfect fit for me. I decided to specialise in water and wastewater after getting some experience in the industry, I was able to see the importance of planning, design and operation of water systems and how significant this role is for the community.

I originally come from the Congo but spent most of my life growing up in a refugee camp in Rwanda. In 2019, I moved to New Zealand with my family. While I speak several languages, before I came to New Zealand, I couldn’t speak much English at all. Some friends of mine moved to Wintec to study English after previously studying elsewhere and convinced me it was a great place to study. So, I made a move too, and I am very happy here. I am now in my second year of studying English. Studying is busy – I have five younger siblings who I look after regularly. But I want to continue studying. I want to complete further levels of English study, and my long-term dream is to become a nurse. Immaculee, Certificate in English Language

I have known for a long time that I wanted to work in a field where I could help youth. I was lucky to have a sports coach who was a social worker – he inspired me to consider it as a career path. Both his influence and the loss of my friend when I was younger were driving influences on my career choice. Having attended counselling myself, I got a good understanding of what the area of social practice involves. I could see there was a great opportunity to help people in difficult circumstances improve their lives, and I wanted to be part of that. In the future, I want to help and inspire kids at school with both their academic and sporting pursuits. Tipene, Bachelor of Social Work

Taking on studying as a single mum of four isn’t easy, and the pressure can feel overwhelming at times. But I wanted to get a degree that will offer me security long-term. Nursing felt right– I have always been a people person - if I can do just one thing that makes a difference to someone's day, I'm all about that. I had been working in mental health, and my colleagues encouraged me to take the leap. Not having undertaken any study before entering the Bachelor of Nursing degree, I decided to do Te Are Pūtake Foundation Studies course – it was an awesome introduction and really set the right path to enter the degree with confidence. I dream of one day becoming a paediatric nurse - kids are super resilient and so much fun to work with. If you are passionate enough and can commit yourself to your studies, this is an awesome experience. Charlene, Bachelor of Nursing

I left school at 16 and didn’t think I had the qualifications to get into many courses, so I studied travel and tourism. After being unemployed for a while, I needed to find something to help me get a job. Wintec offered an entry-level computing course, so I started with that, later progressing to a diploma. I was enjoying studying, so I just kept going and ended up in the Bachelor of Applied IT degree programme. Now I am in my third and final year with a focus on software engineering. I am currently working part-time for a charity that develops mental and wellbeing apps. It's definitely the kind of work I want to pursue in the future. I am also volunteering at Wintec as a tuakana – which is a support person for first-year students. Wintec has changed my life – it's going to be hard to leave. Rewa, Bachelor of Applied IT

It’s important that you study something you are interested in, not just something you think you should do. Straight out of school, I wasn’t ready to study – I worked and travelled while I figured out what I wanted to do. I love sport and have been involved with it all my life, particularly water polo and swimming (I went to the World Champs in 2014), so it’s not surprising I have ended up here. I had heard great things about Wintec, particularly about how hands- on it was and how the facilities were great, so that made my decision easier. I started off studying a certificate, and my lecturers encouraged me to continue on. I am now completing a degree in Sport and Exercise Science. Right now, I am happy studying and working part-time in a gym. Long term, my dream is to become a police dog handler. While it’s not directly related to what I am studying, I think there are a lot of skills and knowledge in my degree which will benefit me should I take that path in the future.

I was born in Zimbabwe, Africa, but grew up in New Zealand. My ambition is to work as a personal trainer. Friends suggested that Wintec would be a great place for me to pursue this dream. I make music, cut hair, and dance – but I have realised the difference between hobbies, passions, and a genuine career path. Studying sport and exercise science allows me to forge a career in something that I really care about. But it also gives me more future security than some of my other pursuits. I enjoy the way we learn at Wintec. I feel the tutors are very creative in how they bring to life the learning for their students, which works well for me. Studying is challenging. I am proud of the way I have stayed on track, continually pushing myself to complete my tests and assignments. I am looking forward to travelling the world and inspiring people to grow, get stronger, healthier, and be their best selves. Dexter, Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science
