At Wintec we understand that it’s not easy for secondary students to decide what to do after they leave school. So our goal is to offer a range of products and services that not only build on your students’ secondary education, but also make it easier for them to transition into tertiary study and ultimately, find the career that’s right for them.

This publication outlines the ways in which Wintec can work with your school. The focus of our Secondary School team is to help you and your students to find out more about tertiary education, career opportunities and the programmes available at the Waikato Institute of Technology.

We have put together a one-stop-shop for you with the products and services available to secondary schools including school visits, campus tours, informing students of their choices, arranging expert presentations and workshops, STAR courses and much more.

We see the relationship between your school and Wintec as an important partnership and feel positive that, together, we can make the path for your students a much smoother one. We look forward to working with you again in 2010.
