Graduate Success Stories


  • Graduate stories
I have learned the basics of rail and all its different components. How rail, road and ferries all tie in together to support our economy and how much of an environmental impact rail provides on helping the NZ government to meet its carbon emissions goals.

  • Graduate stories
I think that the flexibility of the graduate position will help me truly understand what I actually enjoy. Studying something is often very different to working in that respective area.
