What is this course about?

This Gateway Impact Project looks at the induction into the world of work. Students will be able to undertake a work experience placement and the supporting standards will highlight the responsibilities of being an employee. This experience will also highlight the roles an employee undertakes within a work environment and the nature of being part of a team to achieve goals for a business.

Standards completed through the work experience placement will also assist students in specialist subject areas, strengthening study skills, and resilience in learning practices.

• Because of the nature of assessments being in a workplace environment, there is no opportunity for reassessments.

• As Gateway standards are all industry based (Unit Standards), you are unable to gain NCEA endorsements for Gateway.

• Gateway credits do not count towards NCEA/UE Literacy or Numeracy

Vocational Pathways provide a framework for students to show how their learning and achievement is valued in the workplace by aligning learning to the skills needed for industry.
