The Gateway Programme

A pathway to tertiary study, apprenticeships and employment

The Gateway Programme provides the work ready skills our students require to go from school to employment. The ‘structured workplace learning’ is ideal for students who wish to explore a career pathway and blend school study with workplace learning.

Gateway offers senior students 10 days of unpaid work experience (one day per week or an arrangement to suit the employer usually in terms 2 and 3) to go hand in hand with studying industry-related credits towards NCEA qualifications in a Vocational Pathway. The purpose is to provide actual workplace experience that will help them develop a clear understanding of the knowledge and skills required for future employment.

EIT Trades Academy

The EIT Trades Academy Programme works with secondary schools to provide fun, practical and engaging vocational courses to help students achieve NCEA Levels 2 & 3 and prepare them for higher learning. Most courses are run 1 day per week at EIT in Taradale. (1 day EIT, 4 days at SHC)

Spaces are limited and all students will go through an application process.

The Future Pathways Programme gives our students the confidence to choose a pathway that takes them from school to tertiary study or apprenticeships, and on towards employment.
