"I met a lot of people through the Passport to Business programme, both students and employers, and started a great mentoring relationship through the Women’s Mentoring Programme. We also had various guest lecturers coming in, which provided unique opportunities to learn from professionals."

“I reached out to the CEO of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund when I was in my first year, as he was an alum of my high school. I met with their HR team, again through the Passport to Business Programme, and maintained a professional relationship with them. I was approached to do some administrative work, which I did for a year, and met the Economics team members over this time. Ultimately this led to an offer to work as an Economics intern."
