"I took part in the Gateway Programme in my senior year at Otahuhu College in 2006. I did my work placement at TVNZ. It provided me the opportunity to gain work experience directly within the broadcasting / TV industry.
At the time I did not ever think I would be successful or have access to the TV industry, the Gateway Programme gave me hands on experience, the chance to establish great networks and an opportunity I would never otherwise have had.
Gateway is a window of opportunity for students and employers and offers a really rewarding experience. I highly recommend this programme, it has contributed massively to my career and I am very grateful that I took part.”
