Kubethreana and Rakiki, our scholarship recipients, have been excelling in the Leadership & Performance course at Queenstown Resort College (QRC) in Paihia. This video showcases their journey - their development, enthusiasm, and newfound confidence. It's evident they're prepared to make a significant impact in their careers.

After completing their studies in a few weeks, Kubethreana and Rakiki will return to Rarotonga and gain practical experience through a six-month development placement at Pacific Resort Rarotonga. This placement will immerse them in all aspects of running a world-class resort, allowing them to apply the knowledge they gained at QRC in a real-world setting. Read more on how you can get involved.
