TCS school of choice for young adults

 More than ever, young adults are keen to learn with TCS.

Over the past year the number of young adult students enrolled with TCS has more than doubled, with enrolments up 81 percent this May compared to the same time last year.

The leap in numbers can be explained by the number of young adults re-engaging with education. Young adults are choosing to study with TCS mainly so they can meet the entry prerequisites for tertiary or vocational training programmes.

‘Many young adult students have had little success in education. They may have been isolated with low support or haven’t been told about education as a young adult,’ says TCS young adult learning advisor, Tim Henwood.

‘Students are now re-engaging with education because they need to get qualifications to enter the armed forces, tertiary study or they just need some qualifications to get a job.’

You can enrol as a young adult student if you are:

• aged between 16 and 19 (and not turning 20 in the current year)
• a New Zealand citizen, permanent resident or verified domestic student
• living in New Zealand
• not currently enrolled at a secondary school.
