Gateway
The Gateway programme is designed to strengthen the pathway for Senior students to progress from school to the workplace or Tertiary study. It provides students with structured workplace learning, across a range of industries and businesses, while they continue to study at school.
Students are given the opportunity to ‘test drive’ their career choices, while gaining real-world experience. Gateway gives the students confidence to make smooth transition from school to work. The Gateway programme requires that students complete a minimum of 20 industry based credits.
Recent leaver Cameron Madden works at Advance Aerospace as a composite technician. He talked about how he found his role through the GATEWAY programme at Auckland Grammar School.
