At Go with Tourism, we connect great talent with quality employers, to help build New Zealand's tourism workforce and help encourage Kiwis to think positively about Tourism & Hospitality careers. Basically, we're here to help you find a job you love.

Go with Tourism launched in 2019 and engages with students, job seekers, educators and employers to break down negative stereotypes about the industry and pique the interest of a new generation of workers.

What makes us different?

Go with Tourism aim to partner with all employers in the Tourism & Hospitality industry, in a combined effort to create a sustainable workforce and break down lingering stigma and negative stereotypes that successful careers cannot be found in the industry.

All Go with Tourism's services are offered free of charge, including our Job Search Hub, Pledge A Placement Work Experience Programme, Education Programme, Job Connector, World of Tourism, Right Fit Quiz, Itinerary webinar and Careers Expos.

The Job Connector is a game-changing online platform designed to match the best candidates with industry employers. Job seekers can also visit our Job Search Hub for all of the latest listings from the Tourism & Hospitality industry.

The Pledge a Placement work experience programme has been designed to facilitate the gap between students and employers and help funnel young talent into the industry. It's the perfect way for businesses to increase their talent pool and students to put their classroom knowledge to the test, in operational environments, with real customers. This programme helps open doors for future employment and is a great way of building networks with like-minded, skilled and professional people.

The Itinerary is a dedicated fortnightly webinar series for NZ's Tourism industry, which offers jobseekers, students and those already in the industry an in-depth look into current topics, discussed by panels of industry professionals, who share their expert opinions, insight and advice.

The World of Tourism online platform offers job seekers the chance to explore more than 250 career pathways in Tourism & Hospitality; learning about required skills, relevant qualifications, potential pay rates and what an average day may look like across a range of linear and lateral pathways.

The Right Fit Quiz is a short personality-based quiz that gives users the chance to find out about 3 roles in the Tourism & Hospitality industry that they may be well suited to, based on their traits and interests.

I found my love for events while planning family functions (partly because I might be a bit of a control freak but I also like having plans and love being creative!) For me, putting something together behind the scenes, seeing people react and making experiential memories is worth all the hurdles I jump over
