Caleb has graduated from the Secondary School Take Off student to a Ramp Service agent for JNP Aviation.Caleb works with JNP staff and Air New Zealand crew to assist in marshalling aircraft safely to the ground and ensuring passengers disembark safely and receive their luggage at the terminal. And, of course, Caleb and his Ramp Agent team see passengers safely onto the aircraft with their bags loaded correctly onto the aircraft and marshall the Air New Zealand pilots and their aircraft onto the runway towards their destination.
Caleb explains(News page) he was nervous in Auckland (Air New Zealand Training) because he didn’t know if there were going to be the same questions in the workplace training as in our JNPAT aviation class – but he found actually wasn’t too different – so really helpful JNPAT covered so much of the real workplace learning in the study environment.
“My favourite experience on the (JNPAT )Course is getting something new ticked off everyday....it just means I’m someone different”
Ruth is a graduate of the Secondary School micro-credential in aviation ground operations and was born and raised in Tauranga. Ruth is Tongan, and is the oldest of three siblings. Ruth has a big passion for her culture and is very family oriented.
“I had no experience related to aviation and airport stuff’ so I felt that taking this course would be a good experience and I would learn new things. Especially because my family hasn't been anywhere near an airport....I think taking this course and letting my family know what I’ve learnt is a good thing too”
"I was very nervous because I didn't understand much about aviation but after coming to the Course more often I just became confident. My favourite experience (studying with JNPAT) was going to the Tauranga Airport Control Tower...... and the biggest things gained from JNPAT was the bonds and friendships made in class.
