NMIT brings to Nelson the first festival of the summer
At the inaugural NMIT Open Day, the four campuses from around Te Tauihu (the top of the South Island) are brought together to celebrate what NMIT does for learners, local industry and the community.
Held on the Nelson Campus - food, music, entertainment and stalls will contribute to the festival-esque vibe, where rolling workshops will be held by multiple programme areas.
Revellers can come explore the NMIT Nelson Campus grounds, purchase plants, decorate cakes, change a car tyre, climb up and abseil down a wall, design a card to take home or attend one of the many TED-style talks held throughout the day.
Amie-Jo Trayes, Engagement Manager, says the event is a great opportunity for families and busy weekday workers to see what NMIT does.
“Our Taster Days, held in May, are popular with schools, but we wanted to reach out to those who can’t take time out in the middle of the week,” she says.
“We are thrilled with the awesome industry connections we have at NMIT and are convinced Te Tauihu is the best place to live, learn and start your career,” Amie-Jo says.
“Many of our partners are keen to promote and celebrate the relationships we have with them at this Open Day too.”
“With bouncy castles for the kids, food, music and more, we have a great day planned for everyone, whether they’re interested in studying at NMIT or they just want to check out what’s on offer and have a fun day out.”
NMIT Open Day is a free event held at the NMIT Nelson Campus, 322 Hardy Street, on Saturday 21 September from 10am – 2pm.
