They are dedicated to providing the most effective cross-cultural training they can, with the resources they have. This college, situated on the rural outskirts of the small city of Launceston, is the most developed of WEC's training schools. Costs are kept to a minimum by being as self-sufficient as possible. The college has a small dairy herd, grow their own sheep and beef, maintain a large vegetable patch and greenhouses, have fruit in season from their orchard, and have other needs met from time to time by the generosity of local farmers and tradespeople.
Students help keep costs to a minimum also.
They provide labour which, in return, trains them in skills of which they might otherwise be ignorant. Being New Zealand Qualifications Authority approved has enabled the college to open its doors to overseas students, with visas being granted for training. New Zealand students who meet certain criteria are eligible for study allowances too, because of this approval. The college is located in Gordonton, a small farming community 10 minutes north-east of the picturesque New Zealand rural city of Hamilton. The local farming community has been a blessing to the college since its inception and, like the Tasmanian college, it helps to keep the costs down.
