Wendy Anne Oka's Success Story
Wendy Anne Oka enrolled with Insight Learning Academy 3 years ago to upskill for work.
In November 2007 Wendy started off working at Ohinemuri Home & Hospital doing work experience as a Carer.
In 2008 she was offered employment in caregiving and has since gained her Certificate and badge in Support of the Older Person, so is now a fulltime care assistant.
Wendy has achieved a lot at Ohinemuri Home and enjoys the atmosphere created by residents and staff, who have helped her in many ways. She loves her job and is well respected.
Wendy said without the encouragement from Staff at Insight she would never have done work experience in the first place.
