Student Story

Learning through experience

My time in the Tourism & Hospitality Management program at the College of the North Atlantic was incredibly meaningful, especially the work terms that gave me hands-on experience and shaped my career path. With support from my instructors and a passion sparked during my placement with the Department of Tourism, I now proudly promote the province through my role with Cruise Newfoundland & Labrador-my advice to students is to stay curious and take every opportunity.
