~ Gateway – an individualized pathway to a student’s chosen career ~
The Gateway Programme at Ellesmere College – Te Kāreti o Waihora
An individualized pathway to your child’s future career.
Our Gateway Programme offers Year 12 and 13 students a valuable head start as they transition from school to the workforce or further study. Tailored to each student’s unique career interests, Gateway pairs classroom learning with hands-on work placement in local businesses and industries, typically one day a week.
Key benefits for students:
- Real-World Experience: Test out potential career pathways in a supportive, practical setting before leaving school.
- Earn NCEA Credits: Work toward industry-recognized unit standards and credits aligned with Vocational Pathways alongside their standard subjects.
- Build Local Connections: Gain essential workplace skills and build valuable relationships with local employers and community businesses.
