A recipient of two DairyNZ scholarships, Caitlyn Poole, has recently arrived in China on an exciting and prestigious new scholarship — a Prime Minister's Scholarship for Asia.
The Prime Minister's scholarship gives young people the opportunity to study anywhere in Asia to strengthen their understanding of other cultures and build international skills.
Caitlyn has chosen to study Mandarin in China and is excited about the opportunity. She has a strong interest in the importance of China as an export market for New Zealand, after growing up on a dairy farm and being exposed to China focused discussions.

"I'm really honoured to have this opportunity. Success in China is built on relationships — it's really important to be able to communicate and understand how people in China work and do business," says Caitlyn.
