“As a student you’re given a lot of guidance but also autonomy, plus you’re given the opportunity to work in a real-life scenario, which genuinely gets you workplace ready”. “You have to be ready for a challenge, and you absolutely have to come in with a growth mindset”.
“The growth opportunities I have each day are unbelievable,” he says. “The rejections, the self-doubt, the career risk — it was all worth it. Mission Ready gave me the launchpad I needed.”
“I had no idea what I wanted to pursue in life. I certainly didn’t want to be a doctor or engineer, which all my friends were pursuing, so that left me feeling disheartened.” “My 19 weeks were definitely challenging but rewarding. It’s incredibly fast-paced. I learned more in the initial nine weeks of Mission Ready than in my entire university year.”
I would say go for it as you have nothing to lose! Make sure you do your research on different roles in tech beforehand so that you choose the right accelerator for you and your career path.

Before Mission Ready I was putting together collections for New Zealand fashion designers. I’d gotten a Bachelor of Fashion Design and had been working up the ladder starting in dispatch then working up to Sample & Fashion Design Assistant. My friend suggested I’d like UX Design .. I wasn’t too keen to go back to school—I’d already put in three years doing my Bachelor degree—so Mission Ready’s 19-week course seemed perfect.
“Straight out of school, I decided to follow the business path, which I am glad I pursued, but I didn’t see it as a long-term career. When we moved to Tauranga, I decided to change to something I have a passion for and something I could see myself doing long-term.”
