Manukau Institute of Technology’s recent award nominations

Manukau Institute of Technology was recently picked as a finalist by Westpac Auckland Business Awards in two categories, namely Best Customer Service Delivery and Employer of the Year for the South and East regions.

Gus Gilmore, its chief executive said, “We are delighted to have made the high-quality list of finalists. It’s a great acknowledgement of hard work, innovation and challenging established ways of thinking for the benefit of students and staff.”

MIT redesigned its customer service experience completely through its Project Reretahi, which became a key reason for its award entry.
