Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Wall.
This course is designed to help you transition into the workforce. You will participate in a weekly work placement for a minimum of one term, providing you with the opportunity to explore a career pathway of your choice.
You will be assigned relevant unit standards, some of which are provided by Industry Training Organisations (ITOs). For example, our building students will receive BCITO standards, hairdressing HITO standards, and automotive students MITO standards. We also offer the First Aid Certificate qualification, and students may be required to complete a Health and Safety course for their workplace.
Possible outcomes include apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and the development of work-ready skills.
As a Gateway student, you already have a clear idea of the career path you wish to explore and are ready to be placed in a community business for work experience.
