INDIAN STUDENT BRINGS DIVERSE
BACKGROUND TO ECE CAREER
Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Early Childhood Education) student Hitender Jayaseelan is
thriving in his role as a student teacher, where his marketing and engineering experience give
him a professional edge.
For Indian student Hiten Jayaseelan, a career change from
digital marketing to early childhood teaching has brought joy
and fulfillment.
“I am absolutely loving the Field Practice component of my
studies, as I get to combine my passion for teaching with my
digital marketing and engineering experience.
“As well as contributing to the growth and development of
children every day, I extend my support to centre management
regarding their Facebook ads, Google Analytics, website
administration and other digital marketing or IT related services.”
For over 39 years NZTC has been
offering their programs, which combine
hands-on experience in the ECE field
with online learning.
Hiten decided NZTC was the right choice for him after learning
about the college’s positive reputation and extensive history.
“NZTC offers early childhood qualifications that are approved
by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). They are
recognised in many countries around the world, and I believe
them to be of the highest quality.
