What our Student Ambassadors say
“2022 was my final year of studying a Bachelor of Business (Majoring in Human Resources & Employment Relations) at Massey University, in Palmerston North. During this time, I was HRNZ’s Student Ambassador for the Manawatu-Whanganui area. I organised an ‘HR Information & Networking’ evening and helped coordinate several other branch events. The HRNZ Ambassadorship was an invaluable experience, allowing me to expand my network and refine my skills. I strive to start a career in HR that will lead me to become a ‘HR Generalist’. I have an interest in improving the employee experience and organisational attractiveness.”
- Rebecca Jackson, Massey University in Palmerston North
“I recently had the opportunity to organize and run a student café connect session for OPAIC (Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus) students. The event provided an excellent opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career in HR to network with like-minded students and learn about potential career paths in HR. It helped OPAIC students understand the importance of building a network of professionals and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the HR. ”
