Have you considered our Gateway Programme?

The Gateway Programme at Whangaparāoa College provides students with the opportunity to experience structured workplace learning in a career area they wish to explore.

The programme offers senior learners up to 10 days of (unpaid) work experience along with studying industry-related NCEA credits, laying a strong foundation for their future pathway – whether that be further study, full-time work or an apprenticeship.

Gateway class-based learning is a mix of compulsory and individually chosen assessments to help learners build their skills for employment, such as:

• Plan a career pathway
• Produce a CV
• Interview in informal situations
• Develop a plan to achieve a long-term personal financial goal

All Gateway students also complete a 2 day Health and Safety course with the opportunity to gain 15 x Level 3 credits.

Gateway is an exciting opportunity to get a taste of a workplace and determine if they are interested in pursuing a particular career path in the future. Industry choices are varied, some examples are:

• Education – early childhood, primary, secondary
• Marine
• Building & Construction
• Electrical
• Plumbing
• Sport & Recreation
• Hairdressing / Barbering
• Engineering
• Retail
• Motor Industry
• Travel & Tourism / Hotel Management
• Hospitality
• Animal Care

• Gateway is run in classes as an option line
• Credits earned count towards NCEA
• Learners are encouraged to source their own work placements as part of their work-ready development
• Limited places available for Year 12 & 13 students
• Selection is by interview
