Have you considered our Gateway programme for next year?

The Gateway Programme at Whangaparaoa College provides structured workplace learning for students who have an idea of a possible future job or career they wish to explore. The programme offers senior learners 10 days of unpaid work experience (one day per week) to go hand in hand with studying industry-related credits towards NCEA qualifications and a Vocational Pathway.

Gateway class-based unit standards help learners build their skills for employment. Assessments such as Produce a Personal Targeted CV, Develop a Plan to Achieve a Long-Term Personal Financial Goal & Interview in Informal Situations. All learners also complete a Health & Safety course worth 12 credits.

Following the completion of the Gateway programme there are a variety of future pathways our learners can follow; NCEA Level 3, tertiary study, full or part-time work and apprenticeships
This is an exciting opportunity for learners to get a taste of an industry and to determine if they are interested in pursuing a particular career path in the future!
