Resources to help your students successfully transition to university study.
Request 'Where can business take you?' posters
We are delighted to offer schools across Aotearoa New Zealand a poster highlighting a selection of the exciting and varied career pathways your students could explore by studying business.
As you will know, perceptions of career opportunities play a major role in determining what courses students choose to enrol in when entering tertiary study. However, the breadth of jobs available after completing a business degree aren’t always obvious, and this can result in students choosing not to pursue a subject they’re passionate in, because they’re uncertain of the employment opportunities on the other side.
Please fill out the form below to request printed copies of our 'Where can business take you?' posters in our next mail-out.
