Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr M. Watts.

Gateway – Te Tomokanga builds the links between school and business and allows schools to offer workplace learning opportunities for their students. The programme will develop students’ vocational skills while still at school. Students will be able to get fi rst-hand experience of what it is like in the workforce, and also to begin the qualifications needed in ‘today’s job market’. Students are encouraged to go out and fi nd their own placement. All Gateway students complete three Health and Safety units before they begin their placement. Students are in a training situation and are not paid while on Gateway placement. Students who opt for this for this course will need to go through an interview process as there are only 65 placements available.
