| Subject Name: |
GATEWAY |
| Qualification: |
Unit Standards will be offered.
Units will contribute to NCEA and industry specific qualifications. |
| Course Description: |
Gateway assists schools to make learning relevant to the needs of all students and to broaden students' options by offering them both traditional and workplace learning.
Students pursue individual learning programmes, which allow them to gain new skills and knowledge in a workplace in their local community.
The learning is hands-on and practical. Students are assessed in the workplace for Unit Standards.
Gateway can also help to ensure that young people have a smooth transition from school to work.
Gateway students work in a wide variety of industries, including hospitality, automotive, retail, tourism, engineering and building, and much more.
During the Gateway class time, students will prepare for the workplace, covering skills such as health and safety, customer service, and much more. During their placements that will occur on Wednesdays (most likely during Terms 2 and 3), students will be given support with the units in their individual learning programmes, and can also use the time to catch up on missed class work.
Gateway is something that can benefit many types of students.
It is great for students who are considering apprenticeships and full time work/training. Also for people who would benefit from having a workplace component to their study, or who want to experience their industry of choice. |
