Gateway

Gateway is a programme initiated and funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) that offers students in Year 12 and 13 the opportunity to take part in a school-run work experience programme involving one day a week in an industry work placement for between 10 and 20 days usually. It offers students the opportunity to experience structured workplace learning in an industry of their choice, gaining new skills and knowledge and pursuing individual learning plans to achieve unit standards that contribute to NCEA. These unit standards are completed in the workplace or in training workshops.

Gateway offers selected Year 12 and 13 students’ valuable learning and pathway opportunities. Students have been placed in a variety of industries of their choice and is an exciting opportunity for students to get a taste of an industry and determine if they are interested in pursuing that career in the future. The Gateway office is located in the Careers Centre and is staffed by Kim Mace, the Gateway Coordinator.
