- Glossary
Business graduates can work in almost any industry. They can work for some of the biggest companies in the world, and specialise in the area that interests them most, whether its innovation and entrepreneurship, accounting, human resources, finance, event management, sales and marketing, supply chain, or management.
Wintec combines the latest technology, industry-respected tutors, and internationally recognised qualifications to set students on their path. We continuously review industry trends and employer needs to keep the course content relevant and up-to-date.
Our approach produces graduates with both the technical and entrepreneurial skills relevant to today's workplace.
"The flexibility of being able to study part-time as well as work makes this all possible. I work full-time while studying towards my degree in Accounting (CAANZ). The smaller classroom structure works for me – it was an easy transition from school. Sometimes balancing the two can be overwhelming, but I keep my eye on the future and I am determined to fulfil my goals."
Careers
Accounting
Future roles may include positions such as finance administrator, inventory controller, chief financial officer (CFO), or an accounts receivable/payable officer.
The Bachelor of Accounting gives students the potential pathway to becoming a Chartered Accountant.
Graduates of Business 5 with the Accounting strand may have the opportunity to progress to CAANZ's Accounting Technicians College.
Administration
Administration roles are essential in helping a business run efficiently and involve many different responsibilities and tasks.
Graduates of the New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) (Level 3) programme will have the skills and knowledge to work in a wide range of supervised general office administration roles within a variety of sectors, including receptionist, data entry operator, front line customer service roles, call or contact centre operators, secretary, or office support workers.
The New Zealand Certificate in Business (Administration and Technology) (Level 4) programme allows students to gain skills and knowledge to work in higher-management roles such as senior receptionist, lead administrator, web administrator, service desk coordinator, personal assistant, records or data processor.

About the Faculty
To remain competitive, businesses, organisations, and people need to adapt to the changing world. Today's employers are looking for more than just a qualification. They need graduates with specific attributes – values, behaviours, knowledge, and skills. This is where the Wintec Centre for Business and Enterprise is educating people with what is needed not just for today, but for tomorrow's world.
The Centre for Business and Enterprise (CBE) has strong links with employers through their employer partnerships and advisory groups. Staff are highly qualified and are represented in many professional bodies, such as CAANZ, CPA, CFA, AAPNZ, and HRINZ. They can help you get involved with these organisations too. Depending on your programme of study, you may have opportunities to complete work experience through visits to workplaces, and through projects and internships for businesses and community groups. Events also enable you to meet with local employers and to network.
We take pride in enabling you to develop the skills and knowledge that employers need to help them succeed so that you are valued in the workplace.
