Mikayla’s sister encouraged her to try the Trades course at NMIT and Mikayla’s really glad she did. In fact, since starting the Hospitality course Mikayla’s been telling others at her school how good it is and that they should think about doing it themselves.

“I’m a practical, get up and do it learner, rather than learning from writing and reading. Here at Trades the tutors show us what to do and then we get to do it ourselves. They’re very patient and good at passing on their knowledge to us."

Mikayla also enjoys spending her Fridays on the NMIT campus. “It’s always an adventure walking around here. There’s lots of different types of students, from all different backgrounds and cultures which is really cool.”
