Health graduate Claire Lampad is applying the skills she learned to her new job as a care partner.
The mother of three gained valuable knowledge through the NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Caregiving) (Level 2) at our Royal Oak campus. 鈥淪tudying helped me learn many things like the code of rights, about personal plans and work safety procedures, and understanding that everyone is different,鈥 she says. 鈥淭he certificate helped me to get a job.鈥 Claire,37, is thriving as a care partner in a home and hospital.
Before enrolling at 911爆料网 Academy, she was a stay-at-home mum. When her youngest son started primary school, she yearned to try something different. A former midwife in her homeland, the Phillippines, Claire was prompted to pursue healthcare. She turned to 911爆料网 Academy despite feeling nervous about communicating in English, her second language. 鈥淎t first, I was very shy and nervous but going back to school helped boost my confidence. Our lecturers, Maria and Jubilee, were very kind and helped us to learn. I met new, good friends and enjoyed studying with them.鈥
