As 2022 draws to an end it feels like a chapter will close on what has been a truly interesting period of time. While disruption has been prolific, it is always worth focusing on what went right – and in time I believe those associated with the QRC Community will appreciate the benefits of that disruption.

Highlights of 2022:

• Tourism and Hospitality has proven to be incredibly resilient and demand for travel confirms that the modern world sees travel as more of a need than a want.
• The focus on the employees – increasing capability, productivity and value has never been more topical.
• Demand for Graduates and Interns is at an all-time high, with incredible opportunities being presented to them, both domestically and internationally.
• Broadening our educational offering with our Machine Learning Fundamentals Certificate (Level 5). Working with global technology brands and experts to create a programme that meets the demands of a growing industry.
• The introduction of our Tourism Careers platform enabling greater connection with employers and employees.
• Our staff:
  • firstly, the loyalty and commitment many have shown towards QRC, therefore improving opportunities for students,
  • secondly – the new additions to the team have set QRC up for the future with regards to building depth and developing institutional knowledge.
• Industry Partnerships – our relationship with Air New Zealand has gone from strength to strength and we look forward to working with them in the future to build New Zealand’s pipeline of industry leaders.

I want to thank all those who have attended, worked and supported QRC over the past 3 years – with a solid platform in place, QRC is excited about the year ahead. With waiting lists in place for some intakes next year we are again looking forward to welcoming new cohorts of students and playing our role in developing a talent pipeline for the Tourism, Business and Technology sectors.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas – and a safe, happy, and prosperous new year!
