Gateway

Gateway offers senior secondary students structured workplace learning across more than 50 industries and hundreds of businesses around New Zealand.

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 and achievement standards which contribute to the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), as well as industry specific qualifications. Schools and businesses can read more about Gateway in the Funding pages of the TEC website.

A resource worth knowing about!
Waipaoa Training Trust - Waipaoa Station Sally Bishop, Gisborne Boys' High School writes: Waipaoa Station is a training farm about 50km north of Gisborne.  Fantastic place that takes 5 cadets a year; it is run on similar lines to Smedley Station in Hawkes Bay.  It is an extremely well run training farm and Laurence is a very skilful and passionate trainer.  I have two Year 2 students attending at present and can attest to how awesome the programme is.  Contact Laurence Burkin 06 8621988 or visit the website for details www.waipaoatrainingtrust.com

Great Resource Booklet from Waitakere Gateway: Jacquie Brayshaw (Waitakere Secondary Schools Gateway Broker) has supplied this very useful dossier of Gateway Providers that schools in her cluster can recommend to others. 

Jacquie invites other Gateway Coordinators to send their units to her , including the providers' details, for inclusion in the booklet. The booklet will then belong to all and become a good resource for all Co-ordinators. She requests they send the details of those providers that have delivered a robust, reliable assessment process and they are confident to recommend to other schools. She is sure other co-ordinators will have identified industry units that are suitable for a Gateway student and this will save another school a lot of extra work reinventing the wheel.
