Gateway blends school study with workplace learning and hands-on experience. An individual learning plan is designed including relevant industry unit standards and the opportunity to gain at least 20 NZQA credits. Examples of some unit standards which may be completed are listed below. Students will also take part in lessons, workshops and courses that develop employability skills and work readiness. All Students will gain qualifications in First Aid and Health and Safety.
The work experience component is a minimum of 6 weeks, 1 day per week in the workplace. Where possible, work experience is timetabled to avoid clashing with academic subjects.
The Gateway coordinator will support students in their work placements.

Link to Gateway Survey
NB Gateway is a funded programme therefore spaces are limited. If capacity is reached a wait list will be generated and applicants will be assessed for suitability on a case by case basis through the survey and/or interview process and discussion with relevant Deans. Whilst Students can select both Trades and Gateway, priority will be given to those students who have been unable to secure a place in the Trades academy.
