EIT graduate Kelsi Thompson has aspirations of working with her EIT design student husband in their own fashion label - using skills they've picked up at the Hawke's Bay tertiary provider.
Kelsi completed the Graduate Diploma in Business through EIT's School of Business last year and is now the communications advisor for the Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce – a job she is loving.
"I am really using my qualification a lot. My role includes marketing, writing press releases, looking after social media and writing all the copy for our website.
"This is what I learned in my graduate diploma, and I am also learning a lot more on the job.
"My lecturer Russell Booth referred me to this role and was a great support in tailoring my resume to suit the role and helping me understand the unique skills I possess that make me a perfect fit for it."
