Well, I wish you all the best in your current study and future careers. Thank you for everything.

Keep in touch! You will be missed!

Kind regards,

Kia Ora Work Ready Participants,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the Work Ready Programme 2019.

I hope that you found the Work Ready Programme informative and worthwhile.

There were many topics covered during the seminar series and the presenters did an outstanding job of sharing their expertise with you.

To those who were selected to be in the 2019 Graduate Programmes (Networking & Speed Interviewing Events) Congratulations! You did really well!

To those who were not able to commit yourselves to the full course, you can do so in the future. I am sure you will benefit from this programme in the future.

Anyway, you were a great group and your enthusiasm and positive spirit helped make our time together both productive and fun.

I wish you all the best in your future undertakings.

If I can be of help in any way, or if you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Attached here are two evaluation feedback, and I thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions on the evaluations.

I assure you that each will be given consideration so that future workshops and seminars will be even more of a success.

Schools can no longer insulate its students from the unpredictability of technological progression and disruption. The result: new, nontraditional education options are beginning to proliferate.
