Julieanne Kepa - Certificate in Hospitality (Cafe and function services) (Level 3)

"I’ve got all the skills I need for my job from NZMA."

What did you do before you came to NZMA?

I left school in Year 12 this year, and my cousin suggested I look into what NZMA had to offer me. I liked what I saw and I enrolled.

What did you learn during your time at NZMA?

In my Hospitality programme, I learnt how to work in a team environment, while learning barista, customer service and organisation skills.

How did you feel coming to NZMA?

I felt excited because enrolling in the programme gave me some direction. I’ve now made some good friends here and I want to continue learning so I will have more opportunities to find different jobs in the future.

What are you doing now?

I’m working at McDonald’s which I’m really enjoying.
