SUCCESS STORIES
Reegan Lawton
Reegan Lawton is the CEO of Helix Global and the industry expert on the He Toki board. Classified as a ‘pioneering organisation’, Helix is not like any other construction company, “the way we're doing it, and what we're doing is going to benefit New Zealand in the long-term,” and they’re taking He Toki with them.
What Our Students Have to Say:
“A significant challenge for me was the tools because I'm not experienced with them. Alissa gave me some tips. I've never used an angle grinder in my life, but then I watched her do it and I felt like I can do this. Then I did it.”

‘I've learned some good communication skills. I wasn't really that talkative before He Toki but getting to know everyone and talking to them has really helped me with my confidence which will help me in my future.

‘The challenge for me is that I'm a shy person and I don't really like to talk. While I was doing this course it helped to take my shyness away, asking questions and stuff. Good communication with others will help you on your journey to carry on."
