The media industry informs, educates and enlightens people everyday.
The New Zealand Journalists Training Organisation (NZJTO) is a sector of the Communications and Media Industry Training Organisation.
We are responsible for designing and administering journalism qualifications for print, radio and television. Our task is to work with our industry to develop a highly skilled workforce through promoting on-the-job training programmes and nationally recognised qualifications.
People working in business administration or data processing can formalise their skills with CMITO’s new on-job Business Skills qualification.
The ‘hands-on’ approach of the National Diploma in Applied Journalism is one of its key benefits, says Al Williams, of the Timaru Herald
