Joanna McLeod with lecturer Ken Sanderson in EIT’s wine science laboratory.
EIT’s recent holiday workshops attracted some 80 high school students, giving them the opportunity to explore career and study options.
Hands-on practical workshops covered nursing, hairdressing, styling, grape growing and winemaking, social work, business and agriculture.
Students were also able to meet teaching staff and view on-campus facilities.
Year 13 Napier Girls’ High School student Joanna McLeod enjoyed her experience of wine-making. She started the process of making a red wine and also checked sulphur dioxide levels in wine made by high school students at a taster workshop last year.
EIT will be holding the taster workshops again in July.
